Fierce Country
The inspiring, untold story of three incredible women who spearheaded recreation, conservation and resilience in America’s most beloved landscapes, for readers of Pam Houston and David Grann
Throughout the 20th century Georgie White, Anne LaBastille, and Dolores LaChapelle did more to inspire our love of the great outdoors than just about anyone.
- Georgie devoted her life to the Grand Canyon, kickstarting the river running craze in the 40s and igniting the recreation industry
- Anne, a wilderness guide and bestselling author, protected endangered species and predicted the impacts of climate change from her isolated, off-grid cabin in the Adirondacks.
- And deep powder skier Dolores developed an environmental philosophy that shaped everything from the radical environmental movement of the ‘70s to modern conservation ethics.
Now, for the first time, outdoor journalist and bestselling author of Powder Days Heather Hansman goes deep into multiple rugged American landscapes to bring three fascinating lives to the forefront of the outdoor movement, affirming their rightful place in the larger story of an evolving American wild.
Heather Hansman is the award-winning, best-selling author of POWDER DAYS, DOWNRIVER, and the new book FIERCE COUNTRY. She's from Cambridge.
Julia Sklar is an editor and award-winning science journalist based in Boston. She has been the story editor at Sierra Magazine, multimedia editor at MIT Technology Review, and an independent reporter for The Boston Globe, National Geographic, Undark, and others. She is also the author of two themed print issues of National Geographic, one on emerging neuroscience and the other on the science of stress.
