This book, first published in the 70's, is taken from the diary of Proenneke, who cleared land in a rather inaccessible area, built a comfortable cabin with materials available locally, and lived there for years. The book details the stone and gravel he gathered, the wood he cut, the items he built (including a fireplace), the animals he saw and the weather. It's a fascinating account of a life I will never know.
