These thirteen eloquent and engaging essays about camping and canoeing in wild country are among Rick Bass' earliest nature writing. Written while he was working as a geologist in Mississippi, Wild to the Heart chronicles his journeys from the East to the West, back and forth: loving the dark woods of the deep South, but homesick for the wide open spaces of the West, to which he finally returned.
