解説
This inspirational memoir chronicles the six-decade quest of packer and outfitter Arnold "Smoke" Elser to protect wild lands by bringing thousands of people deep into the mountains of Montana on horseback. With limited financial means and while still in college, the young man from Ohio decided against a promising career in forestry and chose instead to share his love of wilderness with city dwellers by working as a professional outfitter.
Based on hundreds of hours of interviews, Hush of the Land tells the captivating story of Elser's early days as a packer in the Bob Marshall Wilderness and Bitterroot Mountains. Share the joys and thrills of summer rides, harrowing grizzly bear encounters, fishing in clear mountain streams, and many nights around a campfire within some of the West's last wild lands. In this lively narrative, Elser recounts how his testimony for the Wilderness Act, and the fight to preserve and expand Montana's wilderness lands, influenced his career as an outfitter and educator and gave him a voice at the center of Montana's conservation movement.
