A Very Good or better copy of Abbey's third book, following John Vogelin in his quest to keep his tract of land in New Mexico, in defiance of the United States government. Written by Abbey "in defense of all the lost people whose homes are stolen and destroyed by government for the sake of more and bigger highways, more and bigger dams, more and bigger factories, more and bigger prisons, more and bigger bombing ranges, more and bigger government," (from rear flap).
