Camping at the Edge of American History renders the Oregon Coast and the greater Northwest in a work of creative nonfiction that melds surrealist photography with wide-ranging prose. In ten chapters and a substantial epilogue, the book seeks the dark corners and vacant meadows of the Northwest – its people and industry, wildlife & botany, myths & legends, geology, and natural and human history – and what is to be found there. The book is intended not only for tourists to the Oregon coast and locals but also anyone seeking a way to stop the nonstop noise of civilization, mitigate the effects of such noise on the psyche, and uncover (or recover) possible ways to slow down the rush of modernity.
