Title: One winter in the wilderness
First published: 1998
Description: "Through a blend of personal experience, historical fiction, and natural history of the Big Creek River area, One Winter in the Wilderness describes the humorous, frustrating, and sometimes dangerous daily adventures of a wildlife biologist and his wife in Idaho's remote back country. During the colors of fall, the cold and dark of winter, and the welcome greening of spring, Pat Cary Peek interweaves her experiences with daily events and activities to give readers a taste of life in the wilderness."--BOOK JACKET. "The author's husband, Dr. James Peek, professor of Wildlife Resources at the University of Idaho, studied the habitat of the large mammals that frequent the Big Creek canyon for several years and Pat had gone with him on summer field trips. When she retired from teaching, the two decided it would be an excellent time to spend a winter writing, observing the animals, and acting as ranch caretakers."--BOOK JACKET.
