PrairyErth (A Deep Map): An Epic History of the Tallgrass Prairie Country
Heat-Moon, William Least
Mariner Books. February 15, 19. Paperback. As New. Whereas Blue Highways dealt with Heat-Moon's auto trip across America, Prai ryErth (an old term for heartland soils) records a journey mostly on foot a cross the tallgrass prairies and grasslands of Chase County, Kans. In a gre at cornucopia of a book, a majestic, healing hymn to America's potential, H eat-Moon attempts to penetrate the spirit of the land, a land which explore r Zebulon Pike and later white settlers stole from the Kansa (Kaw) Indians. There are now only six full-blood Kaw survivors, most of whom live on a re servation in Oklahoma. Heat-Moon writes of a feminist rancher who hires wom en primarily, of a farm couple swept aloft by a tornado, of abolitionists w ho wanted slaves free but not equal. He pauses to ponder fence posts, arrow heads and the nesting habits of pack rats. He talks to conservationists and coyote hunters, excerpts pioneer diaries and recreates the 1931 airplane c rash that killed football hero Knute Rockne. Each chapter is prefaced by a map and by pages of quotations ranging from Thoreau to Frank Lloyd Wright. ( more information)
