Meet Nate Schweber and join us for a community conversation about his book This America of Ours: Bernard and Avis DeVoto and the Forgotten Fight to Save the Wild. 

This America of Ours won the High Plains Book Award for nonfiction in 2023 as well as first place in the Outdoor Writers Association book contest. It earned a starred review from Kirkus and the Wall Street Journal called it "an energetic celebration".

It tells the dramatic true story of how mid-20th century literary duo Bernard and Avis DeVoto fought for America's national parksand public lands, though it got them blacklisted in the McCarthy-era. One of the allies who joined the DeVotos' conservation crusade was then-unknown aspiring chef Julia Child, whom Avis DeVoto would make a superstar.
