Summary

Think of this as the non-fiction companion to Larry McMurtry's novels about the American West (he's a fan of Solnit's work, his blurb will be on our cover). With characteristic flair and moral force, Solnit narrates the the bloody and continuing wars over land and power in Nevada and Yosemite, with implications for points around and beyond.
