"The Thoreau of the American West." -- Larry McMurty, author of
Lonesome Dove
A half-century after its original publication, Edward Abbey's classic
1962 novel, Fire on the Mountain, still retains its beauty, power, and
relevance. Now with a new introduction by New York Times bestseller
Douglas Brinkley (The Wilderness Warrior, Walter Cronkite), this
extraordinary tale by the legendary icon of the environmentalism
movement and author of The Monkey Wrench Gang proudly celebrates
rugged American individualism, as it tells the story of one tough old
loner's stand against the combined, well-armed forces of government that
are determined to clear him from his land.
