Where the Deer and the Antelope Play: The Pastoral Observations of One Ignorant American Who Loves to Walk Outside

A literary journey to America's frontier inspired by three journeys Nick has taken in the recent past-one a hiking trip with friends George Saunders and Jeff Tweedy, one in the farms of Illinois and in the UK with famed shepherd James Rebanks, and one in an Airstream trailer with his wife, Megan-Nick Offerman's new narrative exploration of nature and the outdoors and the outdoors will be perfect for his millions of fans.

Nick Offerman has always loved the United States of America-not just the people and the history, but the actual land itself. In his new book, Nick takes a humorous, inspiring, and fascinating trip to America's frontier to celebrate the people, landscape, and stories, both historically and today, that have made it great-and, working together, will keep it that way.

In July 2019, Nick took two memorable trips with friends-a hiking trip to Glacier National Park with his friends Jeff Tweedy and George Saunders, as well as an extended visit to his friend James Rebanks, the author of A SHEPHERD'S LIFE. He followed that up with a trip that could have only happened in 2020-Nick and his wife, Megan Mullally, bought an Airstream trailer to drive across the US in late 2020. All three journeys inspired some deep thinking from Nick, thoughts about the history and geology of the national parks of the West; farming, animal life, and conservation; the importance of outdoor recreation, including hunting and fishing; and building both local and national communities across party lines, all subjects very close to Nick's heart.

With wit, heartwarming stories, and a keen insight into new and exciting ways to see both the past and the future of the country, Nick Offerman is ready to tackle his most important subject yet.
