Yet the people who are left out there, living the myth, are more out of touch with American life and values than ever before. Ironically, we have always held in higher esteem those who make forays into the <a href="/words/wilderness">wilderness</a> than those who live in it. We're creating an environment for <a href="/words/ecotourism">ecotourism</a>, but we're eliminating a culture dedicated to living on, and working with, the land.'" <br />—James Campbell, <i>The Final Frontiersman</i> (New York and London: Atria Books, 2004), 254–255 Wed, 17 Sep 2008 16:07:09 +0000 http://wordie.org/words/wilderness#comments
