Leland -nice to see you on pnwff!
I too am glad to see Leland’s name. I am reading The Brothers Gardeners by Andrea Wulf about how England became the botanical center in the eighteenth century.
Harlem Shuffle by Colson Whitehead. The author of Nickel Boys and The Underground Railroad reminds me of Elmore Leonard in this story of Harlem in 1959-1964 with its crime, crooks, bent cops and politicians and little guys trying to survive. Thoroughly enjoyable.
I stayed up late to finish it. That was a hilarious, fun read!
Zak no. It is about an all Japanese company in WWII.
Correct title is Facing the Mountain, by Daniel James Brown. He wrote The Boys in the Boat.

Excellent read; both of them.
"American Buffalo" by Steve Rinella has been quite interesting so far. I recommend
Have it on order. Recently being near, around, and among them in BC & the Yukon I decided to read more on the herds being re-established and the locations associated with that process. I learned that there are two sub species, the Woods Bison and the Prairie Bison with the Wood Bison being the larger of the two along with other differences. It would stand to reason I believe based on the environments they live in having such a vast difference. Maybe @Cabezon can enlighten me further.
Wood Bison near Liard River BC.
I just finished this:
The Natural History of Puget Sound Country by Arthur Kruckeberg; UW Press 1991.
This has been sitting on our bookshelf for years, and I never had the attention span to dive into it until recently. It actually wasn't as daunting a read as I expected. It's rather sad to compare the author's optimistic take on the tiime's growing environmental awareness with the S _ _ t Show we're currently in.

This is another book of his, one I have used many times.
I've often wondered what my old stomping grounds looked like way, way back in time like the mid 1700's
Must have been absolutely teeming with big game & all types of trout, char & salmon

Rivers always reach the sea by Burke. His essay on Lefty is worth the read on its own.
