Our Natural World - The Land and Wildlife of America as Seen and Described by Writers Since the Country's Discovery
J. B. Lippincott Company, Philiadelphia and New York 1969
From Hal Borland the Editor- "This is a book about America, the look of it and the color and sound and smell of it, the almost incredible variety of the land and the life that is native to it. It is a book written by many people, because it is a selection from the writing about American that has been done since the first literate Europeans saw its shores. Almost ninety writers are represented here, and among them they present a composite picture of outdoor America over almost four centuries."
This book is in very good condition, hardcover, no dust jacket, no writing on the pages that I can see, tight spine, some creasing to the spine from storage, the bottom edge looks torn in the picture, it is not, just a crease. There are 849 pages. There are some drawings by Rachel S. Horne, book is compiled and edited by Hal Borland.
The front cover has a couple of new stains from my cat who somehow stepped in my coffee cup and trailed across this book. I don't know if there is a way to get that out. It just happened a couple of days ago.
