Shortly thereafter\, she became the first woman to row the Grand Canyon. At the same time\, she also exclusively wore leopard print leotards and subsisted only on canned tuna and beer.\nWhile Georgie was running the river\, Anne LaBastille was building her life in the Adirondacks. She would go on to become a celebrate author\, ecologist and an emblem of the back to the land movement.\nAnd in the Rockies\, Dolores LaChapelle\, was burnishing her name as one of the best skiers in America. She was climbing and skiing first descents before National Geographic and Warren Miller created an entire industry around such feats.\nIn Fierce Country\, outdoor journalist and celebrated author of Powder Days\, Heather Hansman brings these women’s fascinating lives to the forefront of the outdoor movement\, affirming the rightful place in the larger story of an evolving American landscape. \nAbout the Author: HEATHER HANSMAN is an award-winning freelance writer and celebrated author of Powder Days: Ski Bums\, Ski Towns\, and the Future of Chasing Snow. She’s Outside magazine’s environmental columnist and a contributing editor at Backcountry Magazine. Her work has been included in The Best American Essays 2015.
