The Journey Home: Some Words in Defense of the American West

Edward Abbey describes THE JOURNEY HOME as "...partly personal history, one man's odyssey in search of Ithaca. Like so many others in this century I found myself a displaced person shortly after birth and have been looking half of my life for a place to take my stand. Now that I think I've found it, I must defend it. My home is the American West, and this book is written in its defense.""He offers a portrait of the West that we'll not soon forget. He gives us the observations of a man who left the urban world to think about the natural world and the myths buried therein." (Publisher's Source)
