Fire on the Mountain

Edward Abbey

UNM Press, Albuquerque. 1983. Paperback Zia Book Edition. Some wear and fading to cover and rear, quite nice.

From the publisher:

"Grandfather John Vogelin's land is his life -- a barren stretch of New Mexican wilderness, mercifully bypassed by civilization. Then the government moves in. And suddenly the elderly, mule-stubborn rancher is confronting the combined land-grabbing greed of the County Sheriff, the Department of the Interior, the Atomic Energy Commission and the U.S. Air Force. But a tough old man is like a mountain lion: if you back him into a corner, he'll come out fighting."

Incredible man vs. the machine novel from Abbey presented in a lovely Zia Books edition from UNM Press. Buy both Abbeys, you'll love it!
