Testimonials for This Grand and Magnificent Place
“There are few American wild landscapes with as long and intense a human association as the White Mountains. Christopher Johnson tells the story in fascinating detail. Along the way we gain an understanding of the growth of wilderness appreciation in American intellectual history.”
—Roderick Frazier Nash, Professor Emeritus of History and Environmental Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara, and author of Wilderness and the American Mind
