Of course, most people will never venture farfrom the comforts of home, but Proenneke felt the call of the wild and lived the second part of hislife in Alaska. . . . Keith and Proenneke were coworkers on Kodiak Island and formed a friendshipthat lasted for decades. . . Keithâ€s writing is clear and descriptive; one can sense each strike ofthe ax and draw of the knife. The reader feels he is experiencing the adventure as well. Thejournal descriptions of the Alaskan wilderness flow from the page to the reader.' (ForewordReviews)'Many of us will never realize the dream of such an escape from our hectic, complex lifeto that of the solitude of the wilderness. But in the pages of this book we can share with a manwho lived his dream. The book is certain to bring much pleasure to anyone who loves theoutdoors.'

You oweyourself the pleasure of this book.' (Biloxi Sun Herald)'This book made a big splash when itdebuted in 1973. Keith based the text on the journals and photography of Richard Proenneke,who, after racking up years of 50-hour work weeks, did what many of us only fantasize about: hechucked it all and went to live in the woods. . . Proenneke has become an icon for naturalists.Though few will follow Proenneke's lead, his story can be quite inspiring.'
