Review:
"An irreplaceable classic . . . One of the great books from which we may understand America and its rise . . . It has not aged, and it seems unlikely that, as long as memory and history preserve the bringing forth of modern life on this continent, it will ever lose relevance."
-Robert Stone, from the Introduction
"Stegner has felt the spell of mountain and prairie, of drought, flood, and blizzard. . . . A harrowing saga."
-"The New York Times"
"Stands out beautifully and unforgettably."
-"The New Yorker"

An early environmentalist, Stegner was instrumental--with his now famous "Wilderness Letter"--in the passage of the 1964 Wilderness Act.
Robert Stone (introducer; 1937-2015) wrote more than ten books, including the National Book Award-winning novel Dog Soldiers and the novels Outerbridge Reach and A Flag for Sunrise.
