Indian Creek Chronicles: A Winter in the Bitterroot Wilderness | Pete Fromm

2 posts | 5 read | 5 to read

"The wardens climbed into their truck, ready to leave. 'You'll need about seven cords of firewood. Concentrate on that. You'll have to get it all in before the snow grounds your truck.'" "Though I didn't want to ask, it seemed important. 'What's a cord?'" So begins Pete Fromm's seven winter months alone in a tent in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness guarding salmon eggs. After blundering into this forbidding errand as a college lark, Fromm gradually come face to face with the blunt realities of life as a contemporary mountain man. Brutal cold, isolation, and fearful risks balance against the satisfaction of living a unique existence in modern America. This award-winning narrative is a gripping story of adventure, a rousing tale of self-sufficiency, and modern-day Walden. From either perspective, Fromm lives up to his reputation as one of the West's strongest new voices.

Indian Creek Chronicles: A Winter in the Bitterroot Wilderness | Pete Fromm

so-so

The only reason this isn‘t a pan for me is that the author was a 20yo at the time the story takes place and thus his brain was clearly *not* fully formed. TW for the (sometimes senseless, often suffering) deaths of a number of wild animals. The author learned some life lessons, in a good way, but not before I wanted to throat punch him. Also: do not bring a dog along on your tale and then fail to keep me constantly updated on their wellbeing. 3⭐️

Les descriptions des sites sont poétiques.
Mais à part cela, je trouve qu‘il ne se passe pas grand-chose d‘intéressant et je n‘ai pas dû saisir le côté humoristique.
Ce livre pourra surement plaire aux chasseurs, mais moi je n‘ai pas aimé les histoires de chasse.
Côté solitude, j‘ai trouvé qu‘il y avait beaucoup de monde à Indian Creek, et je ne les ai pas trouvé très intéressants.
Cela dit, le style littéraire est propre et agréable.
