Rightly or wrongly, Abbey has been cited as the literary-philosophical inspiration for Earth First!
And as a C20th Thoreau.
I've read The Monkey Wrench Gang, which I believe got one tagged as a "terrorist" and "national security threat" if borrowed from a library, but not much else of Abbey.
Jeffrey St Clair's throwaway line suggests that there are further riches in Abbey's oeuvre.
Abbey
Pynchon
Kaczynski
St Clair
Musette and drums....
