Turner tells the little-known history of the Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund, and the effort to get the courts to help protect America's wilderness. He traces the intricacies of the legal battles to save the valley of Mineral King (California), Admiralty Island (Alaska), the Colorado Plateau, and the Redwood National Park from the destructive intrusion of logging, coal mining, the overdevelopment of recreational areas, and the establishment of nuclear waste dumps. Turner notes that litigation will remain an essential aspect of environmentalism. Clifton's photographs corroborate the zeal and perseverance of those involved in the protection of wilderness.
