One small gift inscription to the front free endpaper. First printing of this revised edition by North Point Press. "The Red River Gorge is an uncultivated area of great natural beauty near the western edge of the Cumberland Plateau. Twenty years ago (then, 1971), a large portion of this scenic wilderness was destined to be drowned under the waters of a man-made lake. Deeply outratged and profoundly saddened by the impending loss, Wedell Berry and Ralph Eugene Meatyard set out to preserve their experiences of this unique and beautiful place..."
"This book represents two visions among many that ultimately saved the Gorge from destruction. Happily not an epitaph to one place, iot remains a relevant homage to wild places everywhere...." (Rear Panel).
