Throughout history, many people have escaped to nature either permanently or temporarily to rest and recharge. Richard L. Proenneke, a modern-day Henry David Thoreau, is no exception. Proenneke built a cabin in Twin Lakes, Alaska in 1968 and began thirty years of personal growth, which he spent growing more connected to the wilderness in which he lived. This guide through Proenneke’s memories follows the journey that began with One Man’s Wilderness, which contains some of Proenneke’s journals. It continues the story and reflections of this mountain man and his time in Alaska. The editor, John Branson, was a longtime friend of Proenneke’s and a park historian. He takes care that Proenneke’s journals from 1974-1980 are kept exactly as the author wrote them. Branson’s footnotes give a background and a new understanding to the reader without detracting from Proenneke’s style. Anyone with an interest in conservation and genuine wilderness narratives will surely enjoy and treasure this book.
This is a collection of the poems the Lord gave John B. Branson. When the Lord called John to move from Green River, Wyoming, to Seattle, he went in obedience. As he drove through the Yakima Valley, he found himself pulling off the road again and again to add more to the first poem God was giving him. John recognizes these poems are an entire result of the gift the Lord gave him, and so it is with great joy he gives all the glory to God, hoping these poems will give encouragement and faith to those who read them.
