"This America of Ours" tells the dramatic true story of how mid-20th century literary duo Bernard and Avis DeVoto fought for America's national parks and public lands, though it earned them spots on the FBI's Do Not Contact List. Schweber provides a captivating account of not only the DeVotos’ fierce conservation endeavors but also of their profound relationships with one another, as well as luminaries like Julia Child and Robert Frost.

His conservation articles won recognition from the Outdoor Writers Association of America, and a ProPublica series he contributed to won the Pulitzer Prize for national reporting in 2020.
