Overview
Nick Offerman has always felt a particular affection for the Land of the Freeānot just for the people and their purported ideals but to the actual land itself: the bedrock, the topsoil, and everything inĀ between that generates the health of your local watershed. In his new book,Ā Nick takes a humorous, inspiring, and elucidating trip to America's trails, farms, and frontier to examine the people who inhabit the land, what that has meant to them and us, and to the landĀ itself, both historically and currently.Ā Ā
In 2018, Wendell Berry posed a question to Nick, a query that planted the seed of this book, sending Nick on two memorable journeys with palsāa hiking trip to Glacier National Park with his friends Jeff Tweedy and George Saunders, as well as an extended visit to his friend JamesĀ Rebanks, the author of The Shepherd's Life and English Pastoral. He followed that up with anĀ excursionĀ that could only have come about in 2020āNick and his wife, MeganĀ Mullally, bought an Airstream trailer to drive across (several of) the United States. These three quests inspired someĀ ādeep-ish" thinking from Nick, about the history andĀ philosophyĀ of our relationship with nature in our national parks, in our farming, and in our backyards; what we mean when we talk about conservation; and the importance of outdoor recreation, all subjects very close to Nick's heart.Ā
With witty, heartwarming stories and a keen insight into the human problems we all confront, this is both a ramble throughĀ and celebration of the land we all love.
