HTML:<b>"The Gila Wilderness is both a landmark in conservation history and a living, evolving place. <i>First and Wildest</i> is an elegant, impassioned, and timely tribute to its remarkable past and present." —MICHELLE NIJHUIS<br /> In the summer of 1922, Aldo Leopold traveled on horseback</b> up into the headwaters of New Mexico's Gila River and proposed to his bosses at the Forest Service that 500,000 acres of that rough country be set aside as roadless wilderness. Thus was born America's first—the world's first—designated wilderness. A century later, writer–activists, including Indigenous voices, come together to celebrate this vast, rugged landscape, the Yellowstone of the Southwest. Contributors include Michael P. Berman, Philip Connors, Martha Schumann Cooper, Beto O'Rourke, Martin Heinrich, Pam Houston, Priyanka Kumar, Laura Paskus, Sharman Apt Russell, Jakob Sedig, Leeanna T. Torres, and JJ Amaworo Wilson.<br /> <b>ELIZABETH HIGHTOWER ALLEN</b> is a contributing editor at <i>Outside</i> magazine, where she spent twenty–plus years editing award–winning features and writing columns and book reviews. A transplanted southerner turned westerner, she lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where she edits books and articles about public lands, memoir, and adventure, and serves on the advisory board to Writers on the Range. She and her husband and daughter spend as much time as they can exploring the rivers and mountains of the West—while also making it back to Tennessee fairly frequently for ham biscuits. Her mind is blown by the rugged vastness of the Gila. Literary Criticism. Nonfiction. Nature. Media Type: eBook.
