Where the Bluebird Sings to the Lemonade Springs
by Wallace Stegner
Stegner's enchantment with the West and his ability to capture in words what the land has taught him, not only about nature but about the human condition, are beautifully united in this collection of 16 essays. Stegner introduces the reader to a western literary tradition as varied as the landscape itself.
The River Of Doubt
by CANDICE MILLARD
In a powerful new narrative history, former National Geographic writer and editor Candice Millard traces the bold 1914 expedition to chart the Amazon’s treacherous River of Doubt, and casts new light on the expedition’s extraordinary leader, Theodore Roosevelt. Drawing on extensive firsthand research and little-known historical resources, Millard uncovers startling facts about the expedition, detailing the dire circumstances that left three men dead and drove Roosevelt to the brink of suicide. After his humiliating defeat in the 1912 election, Roosevelt threw himself into the most punishing physical challenge he could find: a brutal descent of the unmapped, rapids-filled tributary of the Amazon known as the River of Doubt. As Roosevelt and his small party of explorers (including his son, Kermit) battled the churning river in dugout canoes, they faced starvation, unimaginably harsh jungle conditions, and the constant danger of Indian attack. Roosevelt himself was gravely injured, and his physical condition deteriorated to the point where he contemplated suicide rather than endanger his companions with his weakness. When the group finally emerged from the jungle, the story of their accomplishments was so audacious that many of the world's experts initially refused to believe it. Millard depicts the Amazon jungle–a place of timeless beauty and lethal competition for survival–in such vivid, realistic detail that it becomes a main character in the book. In writing about Roosevelt, she deftly blends politics, history, and psychological insight, focusing on the complex blend of charisma, pragmatism, and determination that made Roosevelt such an exceptional leader. The result is a stunning portrait of one of the most intriguing and important figures in American history.
The Sound of Mountain Water
by Wallace Stegner
The essays, memoirs, letters, and speeches in this volume were written over a period of twenty-five years, a time in which the West witnessed rapid changes to its cultural and natural heritage, and Wallace Stegner emerged as an important conservationist and novelist. This collection is divided into two sections: the first features eloquent sketches of the West’s history and environment, directing our imagination to the sublime beauty of such places as San Juan and Glen Canyon; the concluding section examines the state of Western literature, of the mythical past versus the diminished present, and analyzes the difficulties facing any contemporary Western writer. The Sound of Mountain Water is both a hymn to the Western landscape, an affirmation of the hope embodied therein, and a careful investigation of the West’s cultural and natural legacy.
Marking the Sparrow's Fall
by Wallace Stegner
Winner of three O. Henry Awards, the Commonwealth Gold Medal, the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, the Kirsch Award for Lifetime Literary Achievement, and recipient of both the P.E.N. Center USA West and the California Arts Council award for his body of work, Wallace Stegner is a literary giant. In Marking the Sparrow's Fall, the first collection published since Wallace Stegner's death in 1993, his son Page has annotated and edited fifteen essays that have never before been published in books, a little-known novella, and Wallace Stegner's most powerful and well-known essays on the American West, which held sway in Stegner's vivid prose: It is a country to breed mystical people, egocentric people, perhaps poetic people. But not humble ones. . . . Puny you may feel there, and vulnerable, but not unnoticed. This is a land to mark the sparrow's fall. --from Wolf Willow Each magical piece of writing collected here reveals the stylistic grace, humorous outlook, and intellectual rigor that earned Stegner his enormous readership and fame.
Desert Quartet
by Terry Tempest Williams
Beautifully illuminated with drawings and paintings by noted artist Mary Frank, Williams, one of the West's most intense and lyrical writers, invokes the lure and drama of the landscape. This is an incandescent meditation--in word and image--on the physical vastness and beauty of the desert and the spiritual place one woman finds for herself there.

PORTER, ELIOT (photographs), text by Wallace Stegner and Page Stegner
New York: Crown Publishers. Very Good in Good dust jacket. 1983. Hard Cover. 0517413612 . Edited by John Macrae, III. 224 pages, 44 color plates, cloth, dj, 10-1/2 by 12 inches, very good. From the publisher: "Here is a close look at America, with a decidedly personal touch, by seasoned observers of the continent's varied human and natural history. The range is wide, from Maine west to the Pacific Northwest and south to Florida, across the Mississippi, the Plains and the Rocky Mountains through the Canyonlands to California. AMERICAN PLACES begins with the first impressions of explorers and ends today - almost five hundred years later. Along the way it evokes the sights, sounds, and people of this diverse land to reveal why America has always been Europe's oldest dream. Some American places - the Maine coast, Utah's Colorado Plateau, to name two, are better understood by Eliot Porter's photographs, unembellished by words. Others - Salt Lake and the Mississippi Valley - where several hundred years of human history are lost on today's scene are better rendered in words. There has been no attempt by photographer or writer to cover exactly the same terrain, or just to illustrate, in words or pictures, the other's work. This book, which has been in preparation for a dozen years, has much to say about how the American people and the American land have interacted - how they have shaped one another - what patterns of life, with what chances of continuity, have arisen out of the confrontations between an unformed society and a virgin continent. AMERICAN PLACES is graced with eighty-nine dazzling color photographs taken especially for the book by Eliot Porter. Every chapter in the book and every photograph can be considered an illustration of a stage in the process of our adaptation and naturalization. Some pages are less optimistic than others because in some places exploitation has gone further or frontier expectations have persisted longer. The reader will come to understand that only as a home for the human race does our land have meaning." . ( more information) Offered by Military History Bookshop (United States)
