A Hunger for High Country: One Woman's Journey to the Wild in Yellowstone Country

Beschreibung

During the 1960s and 70s new environmental and fair employment laws meant that the US Forest Service began to hire talented women in professional careers. A Hunger for High Country is the story of one of these women. Set in the national forests surrounding Yellowstone National Park, this is part memoir and part profile of a time and place.
