One Man's Wilderness
None
One Man's Wilderness, Revised Edition
To live in a pristine land unchanged by man; to roam the 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. This book is a simple account of the day-by-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.--From publisher description.
More Readings From One Man's Wilderness
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.
Summary of Richard Louis Proenneke & Sam Keith's One Man's Wilderness, 50th Anniversary Edition
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had bought a felt-tipped marker and on the back of my camper I printed in big letters, DESTINATION: BACK AND BEYOND. It was always a good feeling to be heading north. In a Nebraska town, I had bought a smooth-touring camper. #2 I helped Babe the next few days. We patched the roof of his house, put a new nose cowl on the Taylorcraft, and there she was, all poised to take me over the mountains on a thirty-minute flight to journey’s end. #3 I was delayed in arriving at Port Alsworth, and when I did, I found the lake frozen. I would have to pack my gear the three and a half miles along the shore to the cabin. It was as close to heaven as I was going to get. #4 I was back in the wilderness, alone. I was here to test myself, not that I had never done it before. I was fifty-one years old, and I wanted to find out what I was capable of.
The Final Frontiersman
The inspiration for The Last Alaskans—the hit documentary series now on the Discovery+—James Campbell’s inimitable insider account of a family’s nomadic life in the unshaped Arctic wilderness “is an icily gripping, intimate profile that stands up well beside Krakauer’s classic [Into the Wild], and it stands too, as a kind of testament to the rough beauty of improbably wild dreams” (Men’s Journal). Hundreds of hardy people have tried to carve a living in the Alaskan bush, but few have succeeded as consistently as Heimo Korth. Originally from Wisconsin, Heimo traveled to the Arctic wilderness in his twenties. Now, more than three decades later, Heimo lives with his wife and two...

Pilgrim soon sparked a tense confrontation with the National Park S...
