About This Item
Golden, CO: Fulcrum Publishing, 1996. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near fine. An association copy, inscribed on the title page: "For Annie Dillard, in appreciation for setting such high standards-- Page Lambert, Sundance, April '96." Sundance is the town in Wyoming closest to Lambert's ranch, so presumably Dillard was visiting her there. Lambert's first book, a memoir in essays. "In the tradition of Terry Tempest Williams, Gretel Ehrlich, and Linda Hasselstrom, Page Lambert looks to the West in a wide-ranging search for heritage to pass on to her children." The book is an exploration of her move from Colorado to a Wyoming ranch amid Native presence, removal, and tradition. A fine book in a very near fine jacket with one small scuff/streak on rear panel.

About Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
