However, for a long time, I have wanted to temporarily leave behind the boundaries of fiction to share more directly with my readers some of what I have learned and observed about our great North American land during a lifetime of study and appreciation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This land, which we hold in trust for future generations and which is ours to improve while we live, is a remarkable land. The landscape has enormous variety, which sometimes escapes visitors. In the twenty-five essays that follow I have tried to offer a few brief aspects of the history, geology, excitement, wonder, and overwhelming power of this land.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e--Louis L'Amour, from Chapter I\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bantam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/1984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780553050783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.34h x 9.38w x 0.73d","brand":"Louis L'Amour","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43471042150581,"sku":"9780553050783","price":38.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_e0d68a3a-d5ac-431c-95f4-aa8939758023.jpg?v=1704821933","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/frontier-9780553050783","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
