Throughout history, many people have escaped to nature either permanently or temporarily to rest and recharge. Richard L. Proenneke, a modern-day Henry David Thoreau, is no exception. Proenneke built a cabin in Twin Lakes, Alaska in 1968 and began thirty years of personal growth, which he spent growing more connected to the wilderness in which he lived. This guide through Proenneke's memories follows the journey that began with One Man's Wilderness, which contains some of Proenneke's journals. It continues the story and reflections of this mountain man and his time in Alaska. The editor, John Branson, was a longtime friend of Proenneke's and a park historian. He takes care that Proenneke's journals from 1974-1980 are kept exactly as the author wrote them. Branson's footnotes give a background and a new understanding to the reader without detracting from Proenneke's style. Anyone with an interest in conservation and genuine wilderness narratives will surely enjoy and treasure this book.… (meer)

In the early 1990s Richard Proenneke told me that he wanted any subsequent book published from his journals to be dedicated to his friend, Helen White, a writer, editor, and naturalist from Anchorage. White supplied Proenneke with spiral notebooks and ink and encouraged him to write about his life at Twin Lakes. For her friendship and support, Proenneke would send her his journals as soon as he filled them. As soon as they arrived, she put aside everything and read them straight through, until her death in 1994, she was his most dedicated reader.

Apparently Richard Proenneke's journalizing began in the late 1950s or early 1960s while he was spending a month at a remote cabin on Malina Bay on Afognak Island.
