Journey Home Some Words in Defense of the American West

"Edward Abbey is one of our foremost Western essayist and novelists. A militant conservationist, he has attracted a large following--not only within the ranks of Sierra Club enthusiasts and dedicated backpackers, but also among armchair appreciators of good writing. What always made his work doubly interesting is the sense of a true maverick spirit at large, within it--a kind of spirit not imitable, limited only to the highest class of literary outlaws."Abbey, Edward is the author of 'Journey Home Some Words in Defense of the American West', published 1991 under ISBN 9780452265622 and ISBN 0452265622.
