Detailed Product Description
Alaska, 2010. 223 pages, color photos. Softcover. Fine.
This best-selling memoir from Richard Proenneke's journals and with first hand knowledge of his subject and the setting, Sam Keith has woven a tribute to a man who carved his masterpiece out of the beyond. To live in a pristine land unchanged by man; to roam a wilderness through which few other humans has passed; to choose an idyllic site, cut trees by hand, and build a log cabin; to be a self-sufficient craftsman, making what is needed from materials available; to be not at odds with the world, but content with one's own thoughts, dreams and company.
Thousands have had such dreams, but Richard Proenneke lived them. This book is a moving account of the day-to-day explorations and activities Dick carried out alone, alone in the wilderness, and the constant chain of nature's events that kept him company.
