Summary

This is a very personal book about a very public place. In Acadia: The Soul of a National Park, Steve Perrin is true to the living spirit that stirred Thoreau in rural Massachusetts, Muir in the Sierras, Burroughs in the Hudson River Valley, Abbe in the southwestern desert, Berry in the hill farms of Kentucky, and stirs seekers everywhere in the landscapes that sustain them, define them, and bring them joy.
