SIGNED BY MITCHELL on title page and INSCRIBED on the front fly leaf. Novelist and shepherd Mitchell presents this account of what happened after a biologist from the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department asked for permission to track bats on his farm. The author having been an iconoclast since his youth, the book is as much a story about a back-to-the-land Vermont farmer coming to collaborate with government as the story of the bats for whose benefit the forested land was managed. This idealist muses on the process of balancing concerns of money, ecology, independence and co-dependence, wrapping up the book with insights learned in convoluted manner about nature, society, and himself.
