Bitterbrush Country: Living on the Edge of the Land

One woman's story of finding home in the American West and her struggle to preserve it, Bitterbrush Country echoes the concerns many westerners have about life in the West, the most eagerly developed landscape in America. In a mosaic of essays, Diane Peavey describes from ground level what it's like to be a rancher and an environmentalist. Sharing her visceral joys in the land and her fears about losing a rural western way of life, she tells a deeply personal story of her chosen home in south-central Idaho.
