Pyramid Lake is one of the largest lakes in the Great Basin. This desert oasis is a unique geological feature and was home to the Paiute for thousands of years. For the Paiute, it was a spiritual centre that provided life-sustaining resources. For the ranchers and farmers who settled there, the waters that flowed into it were necessary to raise cattle and crops. Mergen tells how these competing interests have interacted with the lake and with each other, from the Paiute War of 1860 to the present.
