<div>This is a deeply felt and highly informed essay collection about life in the American west by one of the finest writers ever to emerge from that region. As the <i>Seattle Times</i> has said of <i>Owning It All</i>: "You may never again see the American west in quite the same way if you take the time to view it through the eyes of William Kittredge. [This is a] stunning book."
