ONE MAN'S WILDERNESS: AN ALASKAN ODYSSEY

'''One Man's Wilderness: An Alaskan Odyssey''' is a book, first published in 1973, by Sam Keith, based on the journals and photography of Richard Proenneke who, in 1968, retreated to the wilderness of Twin Lakes in Lake Clark National Park, Alaska to build a home for himself and live alone in the wilderness, self-sufficiently, for 31 years until the age of 82. Proenneke says he turned his back on tedious 50-hour work weeks and moved to Alaska "to do a thing to completion."
