Abbey's World



Ron Dungan at The Arizona Republic has written a memorable portrait of the remarkable Edward Abbey:

He scribbled in a journal, one of many he kept over the years: "No job. No home. Another baby on the way. My little pile of movie money flowing away like sand down a wash. My latest and greatest book ("Black Sun") rejected by one two three publishers. So far."

The world, in time, would come to know Edward Abbey as a writer, environmentalist and a central figure in the debate over conservation in the West.
