Remembering E. G. Peterson: His Life and Our Story

History

Peterson, E. G.

Americas

Francis Jammes, a pastoral poet, wrote of simple everyday things. His was "a poetry of white roses," often intensely romantic and dealing with an imaginary life far more satisfying than the unfulfilled life Jammes led. Twice refused admission to the French Academy, Jammes' work was nonetheless admired by a variety of his contemporaries including Gide, Claudel, Mallarme and Remy de Gourmont. Since his death he has become recognized as one of the foremost poets of his time. Kenneth Rexroth has called him one of the greatest unknown influences on twentieth-century American poetry.

First published in 1985, Cattle in the Cold Desert has deservedly become a classic in the environmental history of the Great Basin, brilliantly combining a lively account of the development of the Great Basin grazing industry with a detailed scientific discussion of the ecology of its sagebrush/grassland plant communities. The volume traces the history of white settlement in the Great Basin from about 1860, along with the arrival of herds of cattle and sheep to exploit the forage resources of a pristine environment and, through the history of John Sparks, a pioneer cattleman, illustrates how the herdsmen interacted with the sagebrush/grasslands of the cold desert West. As the story unfolds on two levels-that of the herdsmen adapting their livelihood to the challenging conditions of the Great Basin's scanty forage, aridity, and fierce winters, and that of the fragile ecology of the desert plant communities responding to the presence of huge herds of livestock-we see the results of a
