Excerpt from a review by Justice Gregory J. Hobbs, Jr; University of Denver Law Review, Spring 2003
Professor Dan Tyler tells a remarkable story of a remarkable man, Delph Carpenter, a small town water lawyer who became a national statesman of rivers.
Aided by the first-ever access to Carpenter’s personal and professional papers—made available by the Carpenter family—Professor Tyler tells how a stern-minded adversary of the federal government became a close personal friend of the future president and former state opponents in reaching monumental agreements.
These agreements are essential to the needs of a growing and diverse western United States. In the twenty-first century, rapid western urbanization—and the need to protect all creatures who share this harsh and magnificent environment we love and depend on—will test the durability of the river compacts. Because the states and their citizens have placed great reliance on the guarantee that their water compact apportionments will be available to them for beneficial use when needed, continued decision-making within the compact framework appears to be a well-counseled choice.
