First edition, the scarcer "Free" issue, of the final collective publication by the Diggers, a radical community-action group of activists and street theatre actors operating in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district during the late 1960s. Contributors include Peter Berg, Neal Cassady (anonymously), Richard Brautigan (whose poem "All Watched Over By Machine of Loving Grace" appears here), Allen Ginsberg, Emmett Grogan, Paul Krassner, and Gary Snyder.
