In Very Good+ condition. Cactus Country is one of twenty-seven volumes from the Time-Life book series The American Wilderness. Published in the 1970s, this series introduces the reader to the wilderness areas of Canada, Mexico, and the United States. This volume portrays the geography, plants, and animals of the Sonoran Desert in southern Arizona and northern Mexico. Topics covered include the Superstition and Kofa Mountains, Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, El Gran Desierto, and the various types of cacti found in the Sonoran Desert. Edward Abbey's informal and engaging writing style makes the informative narrative easy to read; numerous photographs supplement the text.
