Wilderness: A Journal of Quiet Adventure in Alaska - Including Extensive Hitherto Unpublished Passages from the Original Journal
"Twenty-nine years after his death, [Rockwell] Kent has returned with a vengeance.  Not since the height of his pre-McCarthyism popularity has so much of his work been available to the public." —Smithsonian"Conservationists and ecologists should rejoice at the reappearance of this splendid diary telling of the winter of 1918 - 1919, during which the late Rockwell Kent and his 9-year-old son exulted in the beauties of Alaska's remote Fox Island. Kent's strong woodcuts and sketches perfectly complement an unaffected text that tells in an authentic and most effective way of unspoiled nature in all its glory . . . This book has considerable merit as an account of rugged life in Alaska, as a paean to the glories of nature, and as a record of Kent's graphic work." —Library Journal
