Renowned wilderness writer T.H. Watkins offers a portrait of remote areas of the fragile and beautiful canyonlands of Utah. He gives us a panorama of majestic mountains, buttes, and mesas; forest views of pinon and juniper and tall mountain sage; and intimate glimpses of rivers weaving through red rock slits in the earth. Through Watkins' exquisite visual and literary images shines his deep commitment to saving treasured wildlands that were old when humankind was "yet ungraced by the breath of Creation." About the Author: T. H. Watkins has served as editor of "Wilderness" magazine since 198s. Among his many books are "These American Lands: Wilderness, Parks, and the Public Lands"; "The Great Depression"—the companion volume to a recent PBS series; and "Righteous Pilgrim," the award-winning biography of FDR's secretary of the interior, Harold L. Ickes.
