āThe definitive book on camping in America. . . . A passionate, witty, and deeply engaging examination of why humans venture into the wild.āāCheryl Strayed, author of Wild
From the Sierras to the Adirondacks and the Everglades, Dan White travels the nation to experience firsthandāand sometimes face firstāhow the American wilderness transformed from the devilās playground into a source of adventure, relaxation, and renewal.
