Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good jacket. Size: 6x0x9; Previous Owner Inscription. "an astute and loving look at those high, dry places along the Continental Divide where only durable people endure...an American classic" (Tony Hillerman). Having devoted much of his career to reporting on the American West, Frank Clifford decided to give himself a plum assignment: to explore much of the country along the 3, 100-mile Continental Divide. The result is an arresting portrait of one of the last living links to an environment where people and nature are both endangered. Journeying from the Mexican border to the southern reaches of the Canadian Rockies, Clifford introduces readers to an array of characters. In each of their stories, the tide of change is looming as economic, social, and political forces threaten to erase this uniquely unfettered population".

Seller's Description:
Like New in Fine jacket. Size: 6x1x9; With the brutal beauty and stark cadences of a Cormac McCarthy novel, The Backbone of the World tells the story of the last remnants of the Old West, America's mythic landscape, where past and present are barely discernible from one another and where people's lives are still intrinsically linked to their natural surroundings. Clifford vividly captures the challenges of life along the Divide today through portraits of memorable characters: a ranching family whose isolated New Mexico homestead has become a mecca for illegal immigrants and drug smugglers; a sheep herder struggling to make a living tending his flock in the mountains above Vail, Colorado: an old mule packer who has spent years scouring the mountains of northwest Wyoming for the downed plane of his son; a Yellowstone Park ranger on a lone crusade to protect elk and grizzly bears from illegal hunters; and a group of Blackfeet Indians in northern Montana who are fearful that a wilderness sanctuary will be lost to oil and gas development. In each of their stories, the tide of change is looming as environmental, economic, social, and political forces threaten this uniquely unfettered population.
