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.
