Book 44 of 2018: Red by Terry Tempest Williams. This book continues to be timely given the attacks on Utah's public lands.Her testimony before Congress on the Utah Public Lands Management Act of 1995 could be almost word for word be present for the Emery County lands bill that has been presented by Utah's delegation.
It is a series of essays about personal encounters with the red rock canyon country of Utah as well as a summary of America's Redrock Wilderness Act.
I tried reading this a few years ago, but couldn't get into it. It took a few more years of my soul being stained red by the silt and sand of the Colorado Plateau by experiencing the canyons of southern Utah and northern Arizona on foot and rafting large parts of the Colorado and Green Rivers. Because of my own intimate encoubters with the red rock desert, the essays really resonated with me.
