In The Seven Ranges, Will Hoyt sought answers to how and why small, self-sufficient landholders in eastern Ohio consented to the destruction of once-thriving townships and even topography itself via strip mining in the 1960s. In his new sequel, Fear and Trembling in Las Vegas, Hoyt describes the collapse of Western Civilization as experienced by residents in eastern Ohio, Cleveland, and Michigan between 1994 and 2024. In this podcast, Marc Barnes interviews Will Hoyt about his new book and how a sense of America and its grandeur can be brought back.
