Publisher's Synopsis
Ranging in their settings from eastern New Mexico to northern Alaska, Robert Leonard Reid's essays illustrate his belief that the American West is worth celebrating and caring for. The 19 pieces here include essays from Reid's previous books 'Arctic Circle', 'Mountains of the Great Blue Dream', and 'America, New Mexico'; three essays that appear here in print for the first time; as well as revised and expanded versions of essays that appeared in 'Touchstone', 'The Progressive', and elsewhere.
