This Abbey's second major-work of nonfiction (after Deseret Solitaire), that offers reflections and observations that pursue his common themes of solitude and the remorse of the industrialization and destruction of wild places, particularly in the southwest. Edward Abbey (1927-1989) was a celebrated author, essayist, conservationist, noted pain-in-the-ass, and in many ways the father (or at the very least, uncle) of the modern environmental movements.

Description: First edition. Fine in fine dustwrapper. Inscribed by Abbey to fellow western author William Eastlake: "For Bill - good friend and comrade-in-letters for seventeen years - from Ed Abbey. Moab '77." William Eastlake is the author of the noted Checkerboard Trilogy. In 1955 he bought a 400-acre ranch in New Mexico that became a haven for writers like Edward Abbey, who made his first "pilgrimage" to the ranch in a Volkswagen bus, along with Robert Creeley, after reading Eastlake's first novel, *Go in Beauty*. Eastlake said in 1975: "My original reason for coming to New Mexico was that the American West has never been written about. A great many illiterates (.) have tried (.) but never any artists (.) so I have moved in and staked it out. Our great West, the American promise, has been waiting for two hundred years to be discovered, and that has been my dedication and delight, my Seven Cities of Cibola." A superb western association.
