The Last Empty Places | Peter Stark's Exploration of America’s Wild Frontiers
Journey deep into some of the last remaining wild spaces in America with The Last Empty Places by bestselling author Peter Stark. In this captivating exploration, Stark visits four of the most remote, unpopulated regions in the contiguous United States: the rivers and forests of Northern Maine, the rugged hills of Western Pennsylvania, the haunting canyons of Central New Mexico, and the vast arid basins of Southeast Oregon.
Far from being truly "empty," these landscapes reveal rich layers of history, hidden stories, and a profound natural beauty. Through a blend of history, personal reflection, and sharp observation, Stark redefines what it means to connect with the wild in a modern world where untouched places are increasingly rare.
