About This Book

"In The Wildest Place on Earth John Hanson Mitchell sets out on a journey to uncover the essence of wilderness. Instead of traveling to the outermost boundaries of the earth in his quest, he ends up exploring the green realms of his childhood and the haunted gardens of Italy, the original source of inspiration for the painters and conservationists who shaped the American concept of wilderness.".

"Searching for wildness, Mitchell is ultimately pulled inward toward home, back to what Thoreau called "contact" - an abiding, enduring, and daily connection with the world of nature. He comes to realize that the wildest place may be right in his own backyard."--BOOK JACKET.
