From the snowy peaks of the White Mountains to the sandy beaches of Cape Cod, New England is a region of astonishing beauty and natural diversity that has inspired writers, artists, and travelers for generations. In this volume, acclaimed photographer Stephen Gorman turns his lens upon this most storied corner of the country to present a new and striking portrait of New England in its natural state-the magnificent mountains, endless forests, rushing streams, crystalline lakes, and bold rocky coastline. Traveling from the windswept summits of Mount Washington and the Presidential Range, through the north-woods paradise of the Allagash Wilderness Waterway, to the dunes of Marthas Vineyard, Nantucket Island, and the Cape Cod National Seashore, Gorman captures in words and pictures a remarkable landscape that has somehow defied change through nearly four centuries of European-American settlement. The result is an intimate and personal portrayal of an enduring natural landscape that is at once rugged and sublime.

“Steve Gorman is a true American visionary. His masterful images offer tantalizing clues into the nature of our national character and our capricious relationship to the natural world. “ -Dan Brown, author of The Da Vinci Code

“Steve Gorman’s photographs come as close as is possible, other than actually being in the woods, to giving us glimpses, tastes, odors, sounds, and touches of the spirit and being of these places.” -Rick Bass

“Stephen Gorman is an explorer who delves into the natural and social histories of the lands he visits, uncovering the soul of wilderness that drew our first pioneers and reinforcing the ethic of conservation that has kept America wild.” -Audubon Magazine.
