09.27: First Wilderness: My Quest in the Territory of Alaska
2014-08-18 22:38:51| Powells Books Events Calendar
First published in 1973, Sam Keith's One Man's Wilderness: An Alaskan Odyssey was based on the journals and photography of his dear friend, Dick Proenneke. In 2003, portions of the book were used in Alone in the Wilderness, a documentary which aired on public television stations. In 2013, Keith's daughter, Laurel Lies, discovered amidst her father's possessions a manuscript, originally written in 1974. First Wilderness (Alaska Northwest Books) includes Keith's journals, letters, and notebooks, woven into the manuscript to create a compelling, poignant memoir that offers descriptions of pre-statehood Alaska and its wildlife. Lies will be joined in conversation by editor Tricia Brown.
