Peter Brown Hoffmeister's new book, Graphic the Valley, wraps readers in an adventure that connects us to the Earth (Yosemite in particular), replaces the official lies of history with the truth, and introduces us to useful skills like dumpster diving, all while thrilling the reader with human foibles and triumphs. Peter connects with the outdoors, native ways, and dumpster diving in his non-fiction life as well, teaching in an Integrated Outdoor Program in Eugene, Oregon.
