The Santa Catalina Mountains north of Tucson-whose summit is called
Frog Mountain by the Tohono O'odham-offers up to the citizens of
the basins below a wilderness in their own backyard. When it was
first published in 1987, Frog Mountain Blues documented the
creeping sprawl of new development up the Catalinas' foothills.
Today, that development is fully visible, but Charles Bowden's
prescience of the urgency to preserve and protect a sacred
recreational space remains as vivid as ever. Accompanied by Jack W.
Dykinga's photographs from the original work, this book continues
to convey the natural beauty of the Catalinas and warns readers
that this unique wilderness could easily be lost. As Alison
Hawthorne Deming writes in the new foreword, ""Frog Mountain Blues
continues to be an important book for learning to read this place
through the eyes of experience and history, and Bowden remains a
sobering voice for facing our failures in protecting what we love
in this time of global destruction, for taking seriously the power
of language to set ourselves right again with the enormous task of
living with purpose and presence and care on the land.
