"600 pages about Chase county, Kansas--one county in Kansas; what a challenge to find just one thing interesting about this area; but the author did that and more; I still remember the chapter just about the 16 foot wild grasses that once covered the area---such a great read"
"He's not kidding with the "deep map" & "epic history" part of the title. The author takes a non-linear, immersive journalist approach to the prairielands of Kansas.
May bore the pants off of many readers but I enjoyed his curiosity and critical humanity."
"I read this twice. First 1992 when I first moved to the Midwest and second time 2009 when I was doing a roundtrip of the west by amtrak with my family."
"This is an excellent, articulate book about Chase County in central Kansas. Least Heat-Moon takes his time, observing and reporting on every facet of the natural and cultural environment. The best thing I can say about PrairyErth is that, as soon as I finished it, I wanted to visit Chase County. And, someday, I will."
