| Summary |
"In the summer of 1922, Aldo Leopold traveled on horseback up into the headwaters of New Mexico's Gila River and proposed to his bosses at the Forest Service that 500,000 acres of that rough country be set aside as roadless wilderness. Thus was born America's first--and the world's--first designated wilderness. A century later, writer-activists come together to celebrate this vast, rugged landscape and argue for its preservation. First and Wildest features writing by Michael P. Berman, Philip Connors, Martha Schumann Cooper, Martin Heinrich, Pam Houston, Priyanka Kumar, Beto O'Rourke, Laura Paskus, Sharman Apt Russell, Jakob W. Sedig, Leeanna T. Torres, JJ Amaworo Wilson, and more. "--Back cover. |
