Description
A natural history narrative that describes the creator’s evolution from a hapless flatlander aching to grow to be a mountain man into an accomplished out of doors author. Tougias’ journey begins when he buys a remote mountain-top cabin within the hopes of turning into an actual “mountain man” and gets a lot more than he bargained for. Misadventure follows calamity in his encounters with flora and fauna, the locals and nature. Here, he reveals his deepening respect for and connection to the flora and fauna and how this transforms his ideas on all aspects of life. As his love of the outdoors grows, so does his feeling for responsbility and stewardship toward the environment.
