"Return to PrairyErth" trailer

Trailer for the film "Return to PrairyErth" with author William Least Heat-Moon. Return to PrairyErth is a documentary film directed by John OHara on the return of renowned author William Least Heat-Moon to Chase County, Kan., inspiration for his New York Times-bestselling book PrairyErth: A Deep Map. Heat-Moon spent much of the 1980s wandering Chase County (pop. 1300) by foot, exploring its history, meeting its diverse characters and reporting his thoughts in rich, vivid detail. Heat-Moon believed the people of Chase County lived in a time warp and worried that their bygone ways would one day force them to make a harsh transition to the 21st century. But, nine years into the new century, attitudes have progressed and, despite new threats, the environmental outlook for Chase County is promising. In Return to PrairyErth, Heat-Moon guides us through Chase County of today, and learns how life and local culture have changed, making the region a frontrunner in the environmental movement.In Return to PrairyErth, William Least Heat-Moon meets a new generation of Flint Hills residents committed to progress and protecting natural resources, many who are at the forefront of todays green revolution. And, through new attitudes and cooperation, Chase County ranchers are now participating in some of the most innovative conservation projects in the country.

I'm part way through "Blue Highways" --- very readable, but of course, the white people he meets are all morons and the Blacks and Indians all have it together and are victims of Whitey.

Most certainly Mr Least Heat Moon is a contemporary Icon of Literature!

This man is a master writer. Blue Highways is a masterpiece.
