Wallace Stegner is one of the finest American writers, teachers and environmentalists of the 20th century. While his writing, both fiction and non-fiction, was recognized by a Pulitzer Prize, a National Book Award, and many other distinctions major and minor, his legacy is much larger than any of these would suggest. In these in-depth essays, Stegner's biographer continues to explore various aspects of his career - his philosophical writing, his concern for the land, and his bedrock beliefs.
