CHAPTER SEVEN: Dominy
The most important source for this chapter was Floyd Dominy himself. He regaled me with exploits and achievements that made for irresistible listening. Anyone who has ever worked with Dominy has a story or tale to relate—and I’ve tried to select the best.
John McPhee’s Encounters with the Archdruid, in which Floyd Dominy and David Brower raft the Colorado River together, arguing nearly all the way, is some of the best journalism published in years.
