Editorial Reviews

Review

"A good hearted book about the heart of the country." The New York Times

"Our modern-day Walden." The Chicago Sun-Times

"Bill McKibben has called this book "the deepest map anyone ever made of an American place" -- a majestic survey of land and time and people in a single county of the Kansas plains. It takes the author--by car, on foot, and in mind--into the core of our continent and backward and forward through a brilliant spectrum of time and place." The Hungry Mind Review

Great fun

August 15, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is an intellectual romp with the same broad span as it is a road trip memoir by America's premier and most interesting travel author. It may not be everyone's "cup of tea", but I found it great fun to read along with a cornucopia of interesting ideas.

Good Read

September 20, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Great read for someone interested in getting a feeling of the culture and environment in the heartland. I live here and know these people, it is an accurate, if somewhat outdated description. (May be a little long winded for us prairie folk.)

For Some of Us a Must Read

December 29, 2012

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

If you, like me, think of things you're going to do "soon" or "next year" or whenever - really interesting things like find out what it was like to live on the tall grass prairie, study native customs, foods , medicine, etc., but in your heart you know you'll never have the time or take the time to do it, this book is a must read. The author has applied his research skill, his enthusiasm and dedication, and his wonderful skills as a wordsmith to produce a book which is an acceptable substitute for going and doing yourself. I love this book, and hope I live long enough to read it again.

PrairyErth

July 14, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

William Least-Heat Moon delights in language and takes apparent glee in using as many obscure terms as possible. He must be the most learned man in the room, whatever room he's in. It would be interesting to talk to him in person and contrast his conversation with his writing. Meanwhile, he constructs a multi-layered picture of the middlemost part of the 48 contiguous states of the US that leaves the reader wishing for that much understanding of her own place of origin. This book was the result of remarkable erudition and observation and I have enormous respect for the author's work. I also have a notebook in which I listed all the words I needed to look up. It gets a 3 for narrative flow because the obscure words were so frequent as to be stumbling blocks. I rate it 5 for scholarship and for securing the reader's trust in the truth of it.

Truly, one of the best books I've ever read.... twice.

I first read the book after its release. It has aged well. What it says is true and it makes its truths pleasurably.

Another Great Book

September 26, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I have read and thoroughly enjoyed each one of William Least Heat-Moon's books. He is a fantastic author who uses the English language to weave wonderful stories and increase the reader's vocabulary. PrairyErth, like his other books, is a must read if you like stories about people and places in the United States.

This author is doing what has been called "deep" evocation and analysis of a particular place in time. It is from the perspective of someone who is concerned about the natural world and the threats we already know about. I like the collage of quotations that appear throughout the book. Many of them are fearful, but others focus on prayer and praise. A satisfying balance.
