Staying Put: Making a Home in a Restless World… by Scott Russell Sanders

While I really love Wendell Berry's work about loving the land under your feet, this book falls short of the mark. The most interesting aspect of the book was the history of the Ohio river drainage where I grew up. I had always wondered about the story of the mound builders in Ohio, and we lived in Bloomington, IN for 3 years (the author's home).

Wilderness Plots: Tales About the Settlement of the… by Scott Russell Sanders

A moving collection of very short episodes in the early settling of the Ohio River valley.
Reminded me of the travails of settling a new frontier. A good read.
