Mooney has also included descriptions of the routes containing the mileage from spot to spot along the way.

Interpretations of wild nature and wilderness are particularly diverse in the American mind, given our history, our collective economic success, and our diverse social and cultural mix. Although the meanings we attribute to nature reflect our different views of the role humans should play in the natural world, there remains a divide between how we embrace protected landscapes and how we consider natural landscapes, or nature itself. Thomas Vale explores this phenomenon in The American Wilderness: Reflections on Nature Protection in the United States. In his examination of protected landscapes at all scales, from the wooded corners of a city park and the local reserve of wetland, to the vast wilderness of the Everglades and Okeefenokee, to Central Park and Yosemite, Vale argues that nature protection is an act of place-creation, an act that necessarily links humans to nature and depends on a diverse array of human interactions. A rare combination of celebration and criticism, Vale's argument is twofold: landscapes of protected nature in the United States represent a legitimate natural resource, and contrary to expressions in some recent literature, such landscapes bond people to nature. Providing extensive historical and modern data about the national park, national wilderness, and national wildlife refuge systems, Vale argues for the validity of landscape protection and the benefits of achieving both strict preserves and mixed-commodity places in a democratic society. His goal is to unite the often disparate threads of nature protection into a fabric that will enhance an appreciation for the extent and richness of nature protection sentiment and action in the United States.

Before Benedict Arnold was branded a traitor, he was one of the colonies' most valuable leaders. In September 1775, eleven hundred soldiers boarded ships in Massachusetts, bound for the Maine wilderness. They had volunteered for a secret mission, under Arnold's command to march and paddle nearly two hundred miles and seize British Quebec. Before they reached the Canadian border, hundreds died, a hurricane destroyed canoes and equipment and many deserted. In the midst of a howling blizzard, the remaining troops attacked Quebec and almost took Canada from the British simultaneously weakening the British hand against Washington. With the enigmatic Benedict Arnold at its center, Tom Desjardin has written one of the great American adventure stories.

For the first time in sixty years, a comprehensive and engaging history of all eight North American martyrs of the Catholic Church The French Jesuit missionaries who worked among the Native tribes of what is now Canada and the United States are some of the lesser-known martyrs in Catholicism. They were men of deep faith with a profound love for God and their neighbor, but they were also intellectuals--many of them teachers and scholars in their homeland. In the early 17th century, eight Jesuit priests abandoned their comforts in France to become missionaries in the dangerous wilderness known as the New World. When they landed in North America, these missionaries--including Rene Goupil, Isaac JJogues, John de Brebeuf, and Gabriel Lalemant--sought to "tame" the Huron people, whom many Europeans viewed as "savages." These men of God, however, would soon realize that the real danger was not only the often petulant Iroquois, rivals to the Hurons, but also the many unruly settlers in search of land, power, and domination. What follows is a gripping story of faith and despair, the evils of imperialism, and the search for salvation and redemption. In this compelling narrative, author Thomas J. Craughwell brings alive the adventures and ultimate martyrdom of these men who journeyed to a foreign land and died in service to Christ.
