About This Item
NY: Atlantic Monthly Press, 1998. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near fine. An association copy, inscribed to Russell Chatham, Harrison's great friend, fellow writer, and the renown contemporary landscape painter whose works adorned most of Harrison's book covers, including this one: "To Russ, another from friend Jim." From Chatham's estate in Marin, California. Chatham spent most of his career in Livingston, Montana, to which Harrison moved from Michigan. Like Harrison, Chatham was a devoted outdoorsman and wrote eloquently about fishing in particular; he founded Clark City Press that published some of his own works and anthologies as well as many books by others in the "Montana Gang" of writers. Harrison is of course best known for The Legends of the Fall. The Road Home continues Harrison's story of Dalva from his acclaimed earlier novel. Gray paper boards with blue cloth spine, map endpapers. A fine copy in a near fine jacket with some rubbing to front panel. A marquee Harrison association.

About Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
