- W578923934 abstract "Bert Fireman Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona My able predecessors on this symposium have delineated that in aboriginal times the rivers of the Southwest were greatly used but little abused by native peoples. The limitations of stone tools and native engineering skills could have done little to the rivers other than to sometimes decrease their flow below the brush and rock dams of the weir type that diverted water into hand -dug canals. The amount of clay Indians dug for pottery making, fibers and plants they gathered for weaving and home construction, or for their weapons, and the edible plants they gathered near the streams could not possibly have disturbed nature's balance. Nor did the Spanish, as Father Polzer has explained, pause long enough in their search for gold or their conversion of souls to upset the ecology. Indeed, there was too little use of the rivers of the Southwest by the horde of Anglo -American Argonauts, immigrants, and settlers in the first half of the nineteenth century to even suggest use of the term abuse. The first Anglos to use our rivers were the restless, irrepressible trappers who having harvested the best of the abundant beaver from the Missouri River drainage in the first quarter of the nineteenth century, now turned to a similar quest south of the Sangre de Cristo Maintains which until then marked the southern border of the rendezvous country west of the Rockies. Along streams of this Spanish Southwest they hoped to exploit the somewhat smaller, not -quite -so-" @default.
