One morning in 1998, David "Gypsy" Chain and eight fellow Earth First! activists went into a California redwood forest to protest the destruction caused by industrial logging. A logger for Pacific Lumber confronted them with obscenities and threats. Now Gypsy is dead, victim of a tree felled by that very logger. This book traces the clash of environmental and economic interests in the American west - and the life of Gypsy, a young social misfit from a small Texas town.
