High Dartmoor: Land and People

byEric Hemery

1983

A systematic watershed-by-watershed survey of Dartmoor's geology, archaeology, history and people, running to over a thousand pages with a foreword by HRH The Prince of Wales. The first study on this scale since William Crossing's classic 1909 guide, it traces the moor's story from the formation of its granite to the lives of the moorland families who worked it, and remains the standard reference on Dartmoor.
