Description: Inscribed First Printing of the University of Arizona Press 20th anniversary edition of Edward Abbey's classic memoir of his two-year stint as a park ranger in the Arches National Monument of Utah. In similar fashion to Thoreau's 19th century outing in the woods of New England, Abbey's observations about the natural world and humankind of the desert Southwest are uncommonly keen and influential. This edition includes a new introduction by Abbey. Inscribed by Edward Abbey to a previous owner on the front endpaper. ("To X, best wishes, Ed Abbey, Tucson '88.) White cloth, 255 pages. The book has a bit of foxing on the page edges and book covers. Minimal sign of previous use.
