" Marvelous book. Dick Proenneke is an inspiration. He sees and describes things with complete clarity. A man who knows and appreciates the wilderness and all that it entails, good and bad, and that everything has it's place and purpose. If you don't get a chance to read this book, at least see his documentary "Alone in the Wilderness". NOT to be confused with "Into the Wild"!!! There is simply no comparison between that naive, idealistic kid and this wise, realistic man! "
