The new release in the Lee Jarrett odyssey, from the author of Burnt Tree Fork...This new novel picks up several years after Lee voyaged deep into the mountains of West Virginia searching for clues about his grandfather and an alleged double-murder.

He discovers a new romantic interest, both in fly fishing, and in Mary Lou who is also in the process of breaking free from her past. Together they develop a plan that leads them to Montana where they can start fresh. They are joined in the adventure by Lee's aging uncle, who acts as sort of a spiritual mentor, and also a young man they adopted from a monastery, who may be clairvoyant, may be a savant, or may just be crazy.This novel is written in the style of classic literature that readers of Sinclair Lewis, Saul Bellow, or Norman Mailer will appreciate.

This is a gripping and brutally honest memoirof love and loss that will keep you on the edge of your seat from the firstpage to the last.—Elise Atchison, author of CrazyMountain.The mountains of Montana are big and wild, as was their love, their life, and their struggle. Maggie and Rock lived a big life, replete with backcountry horse camping deep into the mountains of Montana, snow boarding, farming and travel. When Rock is diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, Maggie must learn how to care for him as his health fades and they seek alternative medical solutions. This is her first-hand account of living with that trauma, what methods they explored, what worked, and what didn't. It's also a story of profound love and loss with the power of adventure, wilderness and heartbreak. This is a brutally honest approach, and Anderson holds no punches when it comes time to express her true emotions in the face of great hardship.This book shines a bright light on the power of being alive, and the strength it takes to support the people we love—through the good and the bad times.

Beyond the Rio Gila is, quite simply, a compelling coming-of-age story that brings history to life. It's highly recommended reading that should be in any collection strong in historical novels. -D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book ReviewAn epic adventure of hardship and endurance, Beyond the Rio Gila follows Moses Cole, a young Virginia farmboy, who runs away from home to join the First Dragoons and their expedition from Pennsylvania to California during the Mexican-American War. He discovers mentorship under a fellow private, Abner Black, a former professor chased by personal demons. A concurrent journey by Latter-day Saints fleeing religious persecution-the Mormon Battalion, which includes four laundresses, two of whom were pregnant-soldiers through the longest march in U.S. infantry history. Their stories converge in the daunting wilderness of the American southwest, where man was not master of the landscape, and the sanity, courage, and perseverance of each is tested. Based on events preceding the American Civil War, this literary historical novel places readers in the vast frontiers of the west ablaze with battles over land, religion, and politics. As an enthusiastic history buff, I was captivated by the retelling of this epic military expedition and its significance in the unfolding formation of the United States. -Susan Brown, Pacific Book Review

We can teach children from a young age that what makes us different on the outside is not what is important. It is what is on the inside that matters.

2020 Montana Book Award Honor Book.2021 Spur Award Finalist. Includes an introduction by J. Drew Lanham, author of Sparrow Envy: Field Guide to Birds and Lesser Beasts and more than 20 original monotypes by Montana Artist Storrs Bishop. "What is the soul if not the sum of the flights of a thousand birds?" A kind of field guide in poetry, Life List pays tribute to the birds that have flown through Beaudin's years of watching and listening, through his "vain attempts to render in language the precarious circumstances of being alive.” With a sharp critique of environmental, social and political issues, along with haunting ruminations on loss, love and the passing of time, these poems fill the skies with a feathered grace.

The perfect companion for fly fishers new or experienced.From the pages: ?As the years go by, I clearly remember the fishing and the scenery, and I have my old fishing logs for reference. In time, the focal point of an adventure may fade to a particular fish, vision of landscape, or a special wildlife encounter; the reason for being there. A fish is sometimes memorable due to size, but is more often remembered because of the circumstances, the particular challenge, the color and appearance, or a special location on a stream.? From the foreword: "As you read this book, you will be streamside with him (David). In these pages you will find stories, experiences, and wisdom. These have been earned by David and belong to him. After reading this book, they will belong to you as well."

"Rice is a poet, and wilderness is his muse." -Robert Roberg, Smithsonian Folk ArtistTen Year Anniversary Edition includes twenty-five images from the adventure, plus three new journal entries by the author."Today I am an unemployed writer living as a recluse in the great Northwoods." So begins this North Country journal from the author of THIS SIDE OF A WILDERNESS, and the founding publisher of Riverfeet Press. In the spring of 2011, Rice resigned from his career with the U.S. Geological Survey, and moved alone into a tent deep in the forests of northern Minnesota. THE UNPEOPLED SEASON is his daily record of four months in isolation. But it is more than a catalog of events. It is a compassionate and introspective quest into mankind''s connection to wild places. He writes with humor about his follies and foibles, shares technical know-how about setting up camp, ruminates on fishing, introduces wild animals, and discusses the often invigorating, occasionally disconcerting, task of confronting solitude."It has always been my understanding that truth and freedom can only exist in wild places."

[A collection of stories and essays based on the author's extraordinary pursuits.]

"A rewarding and enriching fusion of traditional wisdom, science and first-hand experience." -Tristan Gooley, author of The Natural Navigator, and How to Read NatureDrawing from a similar lifestyle and environmental ethic as Henry D. Thoreau and Aldo Leopold, Babcock has lived more than two decades off-grid in northern Minnesota. Here he discovered a balance in the interconnectedness of all life in the forest, and derived his sustenance from hunting, fishing, gardening, gathering wild food, and providing his water from a hand-pump well and minimal electricity from the sun. He befriended an Ojibwe Elder, Chi-Ma''iingan (Big Wolf), from whom he learned the Seven Grandfather Teachings (Wisdom, Love, Respect, Bravery, Honesty, Humility, and Truth). In this collection, Babcock shares his love of the natural world through a unique land ethic that combines the ideology of Thoreau and Leopold, and that which he learned from Chi-Ma''iingan.Babcock has been active in supporting the environment and wildlife for more than two decades, and was recently featured in the documentary films: Medicine of the Wolf, and Wolf Spirit.From the pages: "We must stop seeing the natural world as a commodity and start seeing it as we would see a family member, something to love, protect, care for, and cherish."
