One Man's Wilderness: An Alaskan Odyssey
By Sam Keith from the journals and photographs of Richard Proenneke
The classic story of Richard Proenneke's log cabin and life in the bush. Proenneke "retired" from his job as a deisel mechanic to build a log cabin and live a self-sufficient life in the Alaskan wilderness. His self-reliance and ingenuity are a breath of fresh air for the modern world. The cabin Dick built is about 40 miles northeast of Port Alsworth, on the Twin Lakes close to Hope Creek.
