In Search of a Natural Life;

"One opinionated and iconoclastic, Petersen writes with humor and well-honed craft that will delight fans of Edward Abbey." — Library Journal (starred review).

"With the heart of a mountain man, a learned eye for what really counts and a pen as precise as a high-country lightning strike, Petersen is our guide back to our ancestral home, to the woods and the wild—to a place in the Rockies where there is nothing to buy, no shiny bargains to distract us.... He gives us hope, and shows us where to find a little of it."—John Balzar, author of Yukon Alone
