Wallace Stegner takes us through the local habitat of the area. He shows us how wonderfully wild this area is and how it has been saved through the efforts of many. Nature is for us to enjoy and experience, not destroy and turn into nothing, and this book is a short piece on how many love the land enough to save it from their fellow man.
