Summary:

Published in local editions by Glen Johnson, Letters from Kik-I-allus: A Farmer's Perspective collects insightful essays and correspondence reflecting on rural life, environmental stewardship, and local history near the Skagit River delta. Written from the perspective of a working farmer tied to the ancestral homeland known as Kik-I-allus, the book chronicles the daily rhythms of agriculture, the seasonal cycles of the Pacific Northwest, and the mounting pressures of modern development on traditional farmlands. Through evocative prose, Johnson bridges personal agronomic experience with a deep-seated reverence for the surrounding watershed and its indigenous legacy. A keen insight drawn from the text is how the traditional agrarian viewpoint acts as an acute ecological barometer; by documenting the subtle, creeping degradation of local soils and water tables firsthand, the author reveals that the survival of family farming is inextricably bound to the broader health of the regional ecosystem.
