My first semester as a freshman I found a cassette with this recording in the library. It was a revelation to hear his voice after he had passed the year before.
Thank you for this! I have been re-listening to these for a few years now. This recording was my first introduction to Abbey and I can't thank you enough!
These are from a box set of cassettes sold as 'Freedom and Wilderness' in 1987. You can still get them on Amazon. The essays are from Desert Solitaire, The Journey Home, Abbey's Road, and Down the River.
These were recorded for cassette-audio release in December 1987. You can find used copies online, it's ISBN 794504557930. All the texts from their respective printed books.
What exactly is this? I've heard these recordings are a compilation of extracts from his best-known works (Desert Solitaire, Abbey's Road, etc.), but a source in the description would be nice. Especially since I would like to quote some of the sentences here in university papers.

He'd die all over again if he were to see whats become of his beloved Arches. The mindless, brain dead selfie-stick hordes. Timed, permitted entry...all of it....
You’ve gotta think about him in the context of his time, today he would seem jingoistic, in his day the things he said were so radical that any jingoist would have been appalled.

Thank you for posting this video. Abbey was a poet, prophet, and an American treasure. He speaks to the soul of all true lovers of wilderness.
I cherish these few recordings from abbey. If anybody knows where more of them are, please let me know!
This is Edward Abbey at his best, talking about what he knows best.

I'm so happy you enjoy them!
Ed is dead. Yet, his living example and words are infinite!
This is someone I would like to meet.
RIP I wish you and Hemmingway came back and led the fight.
If he could only see it now....should have stayed around to be in the Grand Finale which he knew was inevitable.
Well, if this is the end of wilderness, as I think it is, what, should we do about it?

Fine example of humanism

He considered most of the rest of the world as already lost.
