To live in a pristine land unchanged by man...to roam a wilderness through which few other humans have passed...to choose an idyllic site, cut trees 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 and company...Richard Proenneke lived the this dream. He found a place, built a cabin and stayed to become part of the country. This book is a simple account of the day-to-day explorations and activities he carried out alone, and the constant chain of nature's events that kept him company.

Made in USA.
