This collection presents through dramatic monologues the journeys of self-discovery of six historical figures: Danish author Isak Dinesen, who found her creative voice on a farm in Africa; 18th-century explorer Col. John May in the Ohio frontier; one personification of the Hindu Living Goddess; 19th-century British Consul to Zanzibar Atkins Hamerton; and 19th-century British explorers in search of the source of the Nile, Sir Richard Burton and John Hanning Speke.

Discusses both natural and human histories as it focuses on the Allegheny Plateau and hill country in Ohio's eastern counties. Formed of fourteen interrelated essays, Resurrection of the Wild blends lived experience with both scientific and literary research, and makes a compelling argument for the importance of ecological preservation in Ohio.
