Publisher's Summary
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.
Thousands have had such dreams, but Richard Proenneke lived them. He found a place, built a cabin, and stayed to become part of the country. One Man's Wilderness 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. From 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.
Critic Reviews
"Though few will follow Proenneke's lead, his story can be quite inspiring." (Library Journal)

A Surprising and Amazing story
I found One Man's Wilderness a fantastic read. The diary entries were fascinating and you feel like you are there with him, seeing and experiencing fresh air, wildlife and the fear and adventure of it. it was also surprisingly relevant to our times when technology has overtaken us and so few of us experience much of any Wilderness- let alone remote Alaska. I thoroughly recommend this book especially for anyone who craves solitude and time in nature.
