Description

Merillville, IN: ICS Books, 1986. First edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Very good. Inscribed on the front free endpaper: "Don Townsend -- May your visions be filled with wild beauty, and the spirit of Robert Service, Jim Dale Vickery, February 1987." Uncommon signed. Another National Parks ranger turned writer, Vickery was the author of three books and lived in a remote cabin in the Boundary Waters region. His second book, Open Spaces, won the inaugural Sigurd F. Olson Nature Writing Award. Wilderness Visionaries is his first book and in separate chapters it explores the "wilderness visions" and ethos of Henry David Thoreau, John Muir, Robert Service (known as the "bard of the Yukon," and mentioned in the inscription), Aldo Leopold, Margaret Murie, Bob Marshall, Calvin Rustrum (perhaps the least known of these wilderness writers), and Sigurd Olson. With an extensive bibliography and source notes. Reissued in 1994 in paperback.  A near fine book due to a barely perceptible bow, otherwise fine; in a very good dust jacket with rubbing and wear and chipping to spine ends and corners.

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.
