This New York Times bestseller by the author of Blue Highways is "a majestic survey of land and time and people in a single county of the Kansas plains" (Hungry Mind Review).

William Least Heat-Moon travels by car and on foot into the core of our continent, focusing on the landscape and history of Chase County -- a sparsely populated tallgrass prairie in the Flint Hills of central Kansas -- exploring its land, plants, animals, and people until this small place feels as large as the universe.

Called a "modern-day Walden" by the Chicago Sun-Times, PrairyErth is a journey through a place, through time, and into the human mind from the acclaimed author of Here, There, Elsewhere: Stories from the Road.

"A sense of the American grain that will give [PrairyErth] a permanent place in the literature of our country." -- Paul Theroux, The New York Times
