First Wilderness, Revised Edition

Author’s first book, ONE MAN'S WILDERNESS, is companion to the popular film ALONE IN THE WILDERNESS which airs annually on PBS stations nationwide. This lost treasure was recently discovered by Sam Keith’s daughter, Laurel Lies, among the precious stowed possessions of her father. Prior to writing ONE MAN'S WILDERNESS, Sam had written FIRST WILDERNESS based on his own journals and letters, but it never was published. Includes Sam’s own journals, letters, and notebooks, woven into the honed raw manuscript to create a compelling and poignant memoir. Some of Sam’s original Alaskan photos and journal pages enhance the story. Beautifully written descriptions of pre-statehood Alaska and its wilderness and wildlife. Captures in words the mysterious pull Alaska has on some and the results of following that dream. Will appeal to fans of Alaska reality TV and readers interested in living off the land, survivalists, and preppers as well as hunters and fishermen.
