Chips from a Wilderness Log

Calvin Rutstrum is acknowledged as one of the greatest outdoorsmen alive. He's kept an informal log of his more than sixty years of intimacy with the North American wild, and now he recounts those episodes of animals, Indians, and woodsmen he has known, amplifying his reminiscences with sage reflections on how humankind can live more fulfilling lives. Whether shepherding two orphaned Indian children through the North Woods in the early 1920s, describing the ecstasy of listening to rain on the roof of a log cabin hundreds of miles and dozens of portages from the nearest settlement, or explaining what you cam use for camp fire fuel when there's no dry dead wood around, Calvin Rutstrum paints the sort of picture that will keep you coming back for more.

This book represents 46 newspaper essays that he wrote for the Osceola Sun (Wisconsin) newspaper. These represent some free swinging outdoor and social comments from the then 84 year old Rutstrum. These seem to all have been originally written in 1979. It is revealing of Calvin's other life outside of wilderness instructor and wilderness essayist. Here we have some social and political comments, some of his thoughts on work and leisure and a bit deeper glance into his life.
