Bone Deep in Landscape: Writing, Reading, and Place
Great-granddaughter of homesteaders in north-central Montana, Mary Clearman Blew grew up in one of the last vestiges of the rural frontier. Her girlhood chores--hauling water and rounding up cattle--were remote even to her town-bred classmates in the forties and fifties. It was a girlhood she now recalls realistically, with affection but without nostalgia.

Great autobiographical collection of essays by Blew, mostly focusing on the landscape/history of Montana and Idaho. She traveres literary criticism, autobiography, and nature writing beautifully. If you know those states, you will particularly like this collection.
Sounds like a good book, but I'm under impressed by the writing style -- not super interesting to me.
