Louis L'Amour "Last of the Breed"
An air force pilot shot down by Soviets and taken to prison. He is a Sioux/Cheyenne and breaks out of prison and eludes the search for him in Siberia.
Well written, fast read, clean.
Golden Spruce by John Valiant
Interesting on the life along British Columbia.
The Moccasin Speaks
Living as captives of dog solider warriors.
In A Dark Wood by Alston Chase
A long book 421 pages but it was well written. Not a liberal view, showing how Preservation, conservation has progressed in the 20th century.
The battle over clear-cutting. Big business vs. big conservation agencies. The small business and forest workers have lost much. Earth First! and eco-terrorism and tree sitting.
I worked in Oregon forests off and on for 7 years, so I had some personal interest in the book.
Forest and the Trees by Gordon Robinson
Life and Adventures of a Quaker Among the Indians by Thomas C Batty

Books on my wish list
An interesting book called "Between Earth and Sky" is blogged here. I have not read the book but am thinking about it. The ultimate objective of the book is to instill a sense of mindfulness about the importance of trees and forests – the lungs of our Earth.
Another book on my wish list is "The Urban Tree Book" by Arthur Plotnik

A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson is very good. It is about his walk along the Appalachian Trail. It is very funny and informative.
