About This Item
Durham: Forest History Society, 2006. First edition. Softcover. Near fine. The simultaneous paperback edition. Inscribed briefly on the title page and signed by four former US Forest Service Chiefs: R. Max. Peterson, F. Dale Roberston, Jack Ward Thomas, and Mike Dombeck. Uncommon as such. This book collects excerpts from interviews with seven FS Chiefs, who "look back at the issues they faced throughout their 50 collective years of service and provide a glimpse into the inner workings of America's oldest and largest federal land-management agency." A near fine paperback with some sunning to spine.

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.
