Fire on the Mountain

Rating:
Summary: Fiction based in reality
Review: This is another of Abbey's great works which mixes fiction with reality. Although I don't know if the main character and his fight to save the land he lives on is based in fact I do know that it represents the same struggle that many have gone through when the government comes to tell you they need your land. It is a very endearing story about a man who has lived and worked on his land (which is in a relatively hostile geographic area which most people would not live in) only to find that towards the end of his life someone is going to try to take it from him. It is a great story and does not duplicate any of his other writings as far as I could tell.
