Wild to the Heart

About the Book

These thirteen eloquent and engaging essays about camping and canoeing in wild country are among Rick Bass' earliest "nature" writing. Written while he was working as a geologist in Mississippi, Wild to the Heart chronicles his journeys from the East to the West, back and forth: loving the dark woods of the deep South, but homesick for the wide open spaces of the West, to which he finally returned.
