By Edward Abbey. This sparkling book, which takes us up and down rivers and across mountains and deserts, is the perfect antidote to despair.
"Be of good cheer," the war-horse Edward Abbey advises, "the military-industrial state will soon collapse." Along the way, Abbey makes time for Thoreau while he takes a hard look
at the MX missile system, slated for the American West. "For 23 years
now I've been floating rivers. Always downstream, the easy and natural
way. The way Huck Finn and Jim did it, LaSalle and Marquette, the
mountain men, and Major Powell."
Softcover; 256 pages.
