This Land: How Cowboys, Capitalism, and Corruption Are Ruining the American West

This Land: How Cowboys, Capitalism, and Corruption Are Ruining the American West

Christopher Ketcham
An indictment of how public lands in the West are managed — for ranchers, miners, and developers, not for the land itself. Ketcham names names and doesn't flinch. Angry, documented, and necessary.
