Sam Keith takes journals from Dick Preonneke and adding his own thoughts and writing style gives the reader a day by day account of buildng a wildernes cabin and the life he lives in the Twin Lake region in Alaska. Truely a well written book even if Dick Proenneke doesn't care for someone else (Keith) taking his own thoughts and written words and putting a twist on them. Award winning book that is only a glimpse of Dick Proenneke's real journals.
