Description

Richard L. Proenneke—a up to date-day Henry David Thoreau—built a cabin in Twin Lakes, Alaska, throughout the spring of 1968, sparking thirty years of personal growth by which he spent the majority of his time strengthening his relationship with the wilderness around him. Following in the footsteps of One Man’s Wilderness, a classic book compiling probably the most mountain man’s journals, More Readings from One Man’s Wilderness chronicles Proenneke’s experiences with animals, the elements, park visitors, and observations he made at the same time as mountain climbing in Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. A master woodcraftsman, a mechanical genius, a tireless hiker with a keen eye, and a journalist, Proenneke’s life at Twin Lakes has inspired thousands of readers for decades.

Editor John Branson—a longtime friend of Proenneke’s and a park historian—ensures that Proenneke’s journals from 1974–1980 are kept entirely intact. His colloquial writing isn’t changed or altered, but Branson’s footnotes make his world more approachable by providing a background for names and places that can have another way been unknown. Any reader with a love for conservation and true-life wilderness narratives will for sure admire and relish Proenneke’s tales of living in the wild.
