Abstract

"First and Wildest: The Gila Wilderness at 100" is a book review written by David J. Robertson. The book commemorates the Gila Wilderness in New Mexico, which was established as America's first wilderness area in 1924. The book features a collection of essays, poems, reflections, and photographs from a diverse group of contributors, including politicians, poets, activists, and biologists. The essays explore themes such as wildfire, drought, climate change, and the importance of wilderness as habitat. The Gila Wilderness is celebrated for its natural beauty and is seen as a sacred and untrammeled wilderness. [Extracted from the article]
