She listens. She is fair. But she is not seduced by cowboy mythology. Her vision calls for an ecological wisdom that can govern our communities, both human and wild, with reverence and respect.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e--TERRY TEMPEST WILLIAMS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat happens when members of an American religion--one built in the nineteenth century on personal prophecy and land proprietorship--assert possession over western federal lands, armed with guns and a certainty that God wants them to go to war? American Zion is the story of the ongoing feud between Mormon ranching family the Bundys, the federal government, and the American public. Historian Betsy Gaines Quammen examines the roots of the Bundys' cowboy confrontations, and how history has shaped an often-dangerous mindset which today feeds the militia movement and threatens public lands, wild species, and American heritage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Betsy Gaines Quammen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1948814145\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781948814140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Torrey House Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/24\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 370\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.30w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2020 pg. 34","brand":"Betsy Gaines Quammen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049226727679,"sku":"9781948814140","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bd2a0381-bb47-41bc-8d7d-dae812c3cbae.jpg?v=1685000374","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/american-zion-betsy-gaines-quammen-9781948814140","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
