A collection of essays both timeless and timely. It is an exploration of the abiding beauty of some of the last great stretches of American wilderness on voyages down rivers where the body and mind float free, and the grandeur of nature gives rise to meditations on everything from the life of Henry David Tau to the militarization of the open range. At the same time, it is an impassioned condemnation of what is being done to our natural heritage in the name of progress, profit, and security. It is Edward Abbey at his best, where and when we need him most. Includes "Down the River with Henry Thoreau."
Penguin Books, 1982, 1991. Paperback, 242 pp.
