The Kingdom in the Country

"Welcome to the new Wild West - a vast, sprawling land of busted dreams and littered beer cans, of grizzlies, dune buggies and range wars, where past and present coexist ... though not always peacefully. With humor, grace and sensitivity, James Conaway, the acclaimed bestselling author of Napa, carries the reader on an exhilarating journey from the Pecos River to the Pacific Northwest - encountering along the way a remarkable collection of rugged individualists who call this cruel and beautiful country home. We meet a hung-over gunslinger, a throwback to an earlier century, determined prospectors searching in vain for gold, and marijuana farmers striking it rich. Provocative, poignant and riotously entertaining, The Kingdom in the Country is a sweeping and unforgettable portrait of an enduring frontier and its people - a celebration of the bold pioneer spirit that remains alive and well in the heart of America"--Unedited summary from book cover.
