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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Hightower Allen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1948814552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781948814553\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 05\/17\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 175\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.87h x 5.20w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards - Bronze Medal Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/27\/2021","brand":"Elizabeth Hightower Allen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047632564479,"sku":"9781948814553","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_93f50fc6-9526-4d00-b19d-a69386f5c6b1.jpg?v=1684991333","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/first-and-wildest-elizabeth-hightower-allen-9781948814553","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
