by Edward Abbey ‧ RELEASE DATE: Aug. 28, 1962
Published as an adult novel, this is more a book for boys. It tells of a boy's summer on his grandfather's ranch in New Mexico. the U. S. Government is determined to take over the land for a missile range. But grandfather is just as determined to hang on. The theme of old-fashioned values versus so-called progress courses through a book which young people will find suspenseful and provocative.
