One Man's Wilderness

A book & also a film about Richard Proenneke, who lived alone for many winters in a remote Alaskan area accessible only by plane. He built a cabin, made his own tools, had a garden, kept journals about it all. Fantastic real story!
I saw One Man's Wilderness on PBS & got the book from my Mom. Excellent & enthralling!
