When the great environmental writer Edward Abbey died in 1989, four
of his friends buried him secretly in a hidden desert spot that no
one would ever find. The final resting place of the Thoreau of the
American West remains unknown and has become part of American
folklore. In this book a young writer who went looking for Abbey's
grave combines an account of his quest with a creative biography of
Abbey. Sean Prentiss takes readers across the country as he gathers
clues from his research, travel, and interviews with some of
Abbey's closest friends-including Jack Loeffler, Ken "Seldom Seen"
Sleight, David Petersen, and Doug Peacock. Along the way, Prentiss
examines his own sense of rootlessness as he attempts to unravel
Abbey's complicated legacy, raising larger questions about the
meaning of place and home.
