One Man’s Wilderness: An Alaskan Odyssey Audiobook (Free)

To reside in a pristine property unchanged by man…to roam a wilderness through which few other human beings have passed…to choose an idyllic site, slice trees and create a log cabin…to be a self-sufficient craftsman, making what’s needed from materials available…to be not at odds using the world but quite happy with one’s own thoughts and firm.

Thousands have had such dreams, but Richard Proenneke lived them. He discovered a place, built a cabin, and stayed to become area of the country. One Man’s Wilderness is normally a simple account of the day-to-day explorations and activities he carried out alone, as well as the constant chain of nature’s occasions that kept him company.

From Proenneke’s journals, and with first-hand understanding of his subject and the setting, Sam Keith has woven a tribute to a man who carved his masterpiece from the beyond.
