Join Bridgeside Books for a special evening with Sean Prentiss, author of 'Finding Abbey The Search for Edward Abbey and His Hidden Desert Grave'. Reading, discussion, and book signing.
When author Edward Abbey died in 1989, four friends illegally buried him in a hidden desert grave. The final resting place of “The Thoreau of the American West” has become a part of modern American folklore and is located, according to Abbey’s undertaker Doug Peacock, where “no one would find it.”
Finding Abbey: a Search for Edward Abbey’s Life and Grave is a travelogue that begins in Abbey’s hometown of Home, Pennsylvania. During the journey across America, Prentiss searches for who Abbey was, how to unravel his complicated legacy, and what his own future in the West might be.
