by Alex Yandukin Edward Abbey (1927-1989) was an unusual author. Most of his works were connected in some way with the natural environment and people affecting it. Abbey explored the social, political, and environmental landscape of the twentieth-century American West. Abbey was born January 29, 1927, in the Allegheny Mountains, near Indiana, Pennsylvania. He was the oldest of five children in his family. His father, Paul Revere Abbey, was a farmer, and his mother, Mildred Postlewaite, was a teacher. Abbey graduated from high school in 1945. He served in the U.S. Army in Alabama and Italy, 1945-1946, then studied English and philosophy from 1947 to 1951 at the University of New Mexico, where he received his B.A. There, he also edited the student literary magazine. Abbey married Jean Schmechal in 1950, but they divorced in 1952. He then married Rita Neanin, but they divorced in 1965; they had two sons. Abbey was a Fulbright fellow at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland from 1951 to 1952. In 1954, he returned to the University of New Mexico and continued to study philosophy until 1956. There, his M.A. thesis was titled “Anarchism and the Morality of Violence.” In 1954, Abbey wrote his first novel, titled

An ECO BOOKS Featured Author Edward Abbey "The few such writers whom I wholly admire are those, like Thoreau, who went far beyond simple nature writing to become critics of society, of the state, of our modern industrial culture. . . . It is not enough to understand nature; the point is to save it."Edward Abbey, Desert Solitaire "The quality in [Edward Abbey] that I most prize, the one that removes him from the company of the writers I respect and puts him in the company, the smaller company, of the writers I love, is that he sees the gravity, the great danger, of the predicament we are now in, he tells it unswervingly, and he defends unflinchingly the heritage and the qualities that may preserve us. I read him, that is to say, for consolation, for the comfort of being told the truth." Wendell Berry Edward Abbey was born in Home, Pennsylvania in 1927. He was educated at the University of New Mexico and the University of Edinburgh. He died at his home in Oracle, Arizona, in 1989.
