The Winemaker's Daughter
Timothy Egan

Vintage, 2005

Brilliant
Hey, lighten up, everybody. This guy is a brilliant writer. His details about water, wine, and women (or at least his one great woman, Brunella, who may have an unfortunate name--and I'm not sure it's better than Barola, which would have been more fitting--but who is ...
  
  











  



  
The Curve of Time: The Classic Memoir of a Woman and Her Children Who Explored the Coastal Waters of the ...
M. Wylie Blanchet

Seal Press, 2002

One womans courageous life
This story was expecially fun for me to read because this woman lived in a time and near a place of my own grandmother. She took hold of her life after the death of her husband and shared wonderful adventures with her children each summer in the waters and byways of ...
  
  











  



  
Lasso the Wind: Away to the New West
Timothy Egan

Vintage Departures, 1999

A journalist's view of the West, both jaundiced and hopeful
I don't often read nonfiction books that make me laugh out loud, but this one did. Egan is something of a gonzo journalist, taking on the vast subject of the American West and finding in it cause for both wonder and humor. The book is a collection of 14 essays, in ...

Timothy Egan

Mariner Books, 2006

Take it from Mom
When wheat prices skyrocketed in the 1920s, my grandfather ignored his father-in-law's exhortation never to farm west of the 100th meridian. He left his job as superintendent of schools of Springfield, Colorado, and bought a farm, in about 1928. My mother, born Ruth ...
  
  











  



  
Pugetopolis: A Mossback Takes on Growth Addicts, Weather Wimps, and the Myth of Seattle Nice
Knute Berger

Sasquatch Books, 2008

A Reminiscence for Natives, a Rulebook for Newcomers
For a tragedy, Pugetopolis is one funny book. Much of it is about the harm we Californians (and New Yorkers) have done to one of the most beautiful places on earth. Not all of the blame can be laid at the feet of land- and McMansion-hungry invaders from the south ...

The Big Burn: Teddy Roosevelt and the Fire that Saved America
Timothy Egan

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2009

Outstanding Book
Gripping tail of the unsung heroes of the US Forest Service and the under appreciated Roosevelt political adviser/conservationist, Gifford Pinchot. Egan does a masterful job of weaving the real life drama of the fire with the political climate that helped created it. ...
  
  











  



  
The Good Rain: Across Time and Terrain in the Pacific Northwest (Vintage Departures)
Timothy Egan

Vintage, 1991

Fabulous natural history of the Northwest
Mr. Egan is a superb writer. This collection of essays takes you through history and across the landscape of the NW. The chapter on Salmon stands with the best environmental eriting that I have encountered.

Timothy (Author); Egan, 2009

On the afternoon of August 20, 1910, a battering ram of wind moved through the drought-stricken national forests of Washington, Idaho, and Montana, whipping the hundreds of small blazes burning across the forest floor into a roaring inferno that jumped from treetop to ridge as it raged, destroying towns and timber in the blink of an eye. Forest ...
