One woman's enlightening trek through the natural histories,
cultural stories, and present perils of thirteen national
monuments, from Maine to Hawaii This land is your land. When it
comes to national monuments, the sentiment could hardly be more
fraught. Gold Butte in Nevada, Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks in New
Mexico, Katahdin Woods and Waters in Maine, Cascade-Siskiyou in
Oregon and California: these are among the thirteen natural sites
McKenzie Long visits in This Contested Land, an eye-opening
exploration of the stories these national monuments tell, the
passions they stir, and the controversies surrounding them today.
Starting amid the fragrant sagebrush and red dirt of Bears Ears
National Monument on the eve of the Trump Administration's decision
to reduce the site by 85 percent, Long climbs sandstone cliffs, is
awed by Ancestral Pueblo cliff dwellings and is intrigued by
4,000-year-old petroglyphs. She hikes through remote pink canyons
recently removed from the boundary of Grand Staircase-Escalante,
skis to a backcountry hut in Maine to view a truly dark night sky,
snorkels in warm Hawaiian waters to plumb the meaning of marine
preserves, volunteers near the most contaminated nuclear site in
the United States, and witnesses firsthand the diverse forms of
devotion evoked by the Rio Grande. In essays both contemplative and
resonant, This Contested Land confronts an unjust past and imagines
a collaborative future that bears witness to these regions'
enduring Indigenous connections. From hazardous climate change
realities to volatile tensions between economic development and
environmental conservation, practical and philosophical issues
arise as Long seeks the complicated and often overlooked-or
suppressed-stories of these incomparable places. Her journey,
mindfully undertaken and movingly described, emphasizes in clear
and urgent terms the unique significance of, and grave threats to,
these contested lands.

Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park welcomes more than 4
million visitors every year, but this jewel of America's parks has
seen more than its fair share of deaths among its tourists. More
than 70 people have perished attempting to climb Longs Peak, the
park's tallest mountain-some of whom vanished into the wilderness,
never to be found. Thousand-foot falls from high rock ledges,
hypothermia, avalanches that bury climbers, lightning strikes, a
historic flood, and even plane crashes are among the ways that park
visitors have met a bad end. Author Randi Minetor also provides
tips for staying alive and safe in the Rocky Mountains.
