What is Cactus Country about?

184 pages : 27 cm This compelling new volume in the Time-Life Books American Wilderness series takes you on an incredible journey through a wild, unsettled region covering some 69,000 square miles of southern Arizona and northern Mexico. Geographers call it the Sonoran Desert. To ordinary people it is Cactus Country. Your guide is Edward Abbey, a former park ranger and self-proclaimed desert rat. With him you'll travel the length of this lonely, primitive and strangely beautiful land. You'll scale a sacred peak, explore abandoned silver mines, climb sand dunes and volcanic craters. You'll visit the Superstition Mountains, where touchy old prospectors still search for a legendary treasure of gold buried in a giant rockpile. You'll journey to the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument west of Tucson and the Papago Indian Reservation and the Kofa Mountains. You'll travel across the lava beds and volcanic field of the Pinacate region that the Mexicans call El Gran Desierto, the great desert. In your travels you'll see many of the more than 140 species of cactus that grow in the Sonoran Desert and learn the amazing ways they have reshaped themselves to fit their environment.
