What is the content of the PBS documentary “Wallace Stegner”?
This film is a portrait of the conservationist and Pulitzer Prize-winning author “Wallace Stegner”. He was many things: teacher, historian and environmentalist but, above all, “Wallace Stegner” was a writer. Considered by many to be the “Dean” of western writers, he was a Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist and non-fiction author, with more than 30 full-length works and countless essays addressing the landscape, humankind’s footprint and the evolution of a region and nation. Producer John Howe has captured the tremendous influence Stegner has been on the lives of generations of readers and students.
