Presents a collection of essays by Kevin Koch that search for the spirit of place among the bluffs, woodlands, and prairies of the Upper Mississippi River valley. Hidden within the woodlands are the imprints of human history and the deeper geological story as well, the story of a land untouched by the ancient onslaught of leveling glaciers. The result is a call to know place deeply, whatever place you inhabit.
