About This Item
Minneapolis: University of Minnesota, (1961). First Edition. Hardcover. Fine in a Fine dustwrapper. A superb Association Copy. Important first book by this Washington state poet, one of Theodore Roethke's first students, who died suddenly of leukemia in 1982 at the age of 59. A beautiful copy wonderfully INSCRIBED and SIGNED: "For Justice William O. Douglas/with profound admiration,/and hoping that you can/catch a glimpse of your/wilderness./Richard F. Hugo." Douglas, a native of Washington and the longest-serving justice in the history of the Supreme Court, was a prolific author who had extensive ties with the environmental movement. Douglas hiked the entire 2,000-mile Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine. In the landmark environmental law case, Sierra Club v. Morton, Douglas famously argued that inanimate objects such as rivers or trees should have legal standing to sue in court. A wilderness adjoining Mount Rainier National Park is named after him.
