Every American is co-owner of the most magnificent estate in the world--federal public forests, grazing lands, monuments, national parks, wildlife refuges, and other public places. The writer Wallace Stegner famously referred to public lands as "America's best idea," but there have always been some who oppose the idea for ideological reasons, or because they have a vested economic interest. In the current decade, federal public lands have been under physical threat as never before, with armed standoffs and takeovers that the US government has proved stunningly unsuccessful at prosecuting in federal courts.

One such incident was the takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Harney County, Oregon, in 2016. Armed militants seized the headquarters of the refuge for forty-one days and occupied the community for three months. Militants threatened and harassed local residents, pledging to "give back" the land to unnamed "rightful owners" in their effort to enact a fringe interpretation of the US Constitution.

Drawing on more than two years of intensive fieldwork, Sagebrush Collaboration shows that the militants failed in their objectives because the sensible and hardworking citizens of Harney County had invested decades in collaboratively solving the very problems that the militia used to justify their anti-federal government revolution.

In Sagebrush Collaboration, Peter Walker offers the first book-length study of why the 2016 takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge failed. His nuanced and deeply researched account provides the full context for the takeover, including the response from local and federal officials and the grassroots community resistance. It will be essential reading for years to come for anyone who wants to understand the ongoing battle over the future of America's public lands.

Good quality for a great price!
Size: 52 inch, Color: Black
Very nice grill cover! I thought it was going to be a thin piece of plastic, but I was surprised when it came and it’s actually a substantially thick layered cover. The inside has a thermal layer I didn’t expect. Even the Velcro tabs on the sides are thick! I feel like I really got my moneys worth! I just have a regular gas grill that gets little use. I noticed this year there was rust on it in spots, so I thought a cover would help prevent any more rusting. I think this will definitely help my rust situation, plus it looks neater with a cover. Very happy with this purchase!

Great product
Size: 58 inch, Color: Black
This cover is excellent quality and fits my grill perfectly. The material feels durable, and it’s fully waterproof, which protects the non‑stainless steel parts from rain and moisture. Overall, it gives me great peace of mind knowing my grill is well protected.

Very nice and priced right
Size: 48 inch, Color: Heavy Duty-Black
Although this cover is slightly larger than my grill, it's heavy duty and should last a long time in the weather. Installing was a breeze, and the velcro straps help secure it in place better than my last one. This truly is a nice cover and appears to be able to withstand anything thrown at it. Nice product, 2 thumbs up!!

Too much material so that it gets stuck under wheels
Size: 58 inch, Color: Heavy Duty-Black
Very large grill cover, lightweight, but it covers my grill and since it is over-sized very easy to take off and put back on. My problem with it is it's got too much material so that if I have to move my grill away from the house to use, the material gets stuck under the wheels. I may have to re-hem it or send it back. Those with stationary grills won't have this problem.
