Synopsis
Turning to a life in a cabin in suburbia after a separation from his wife, John Hanson Mitchell lived a life as if in a wilderness, without running water or electricity, with owls, foxes, and deer as his closest neighbors, and then with other local people who turned out to be as uncomfortable with the modern world as he was. Here is his story of his search for his place and his time. Thoreau was his companion in spirit.

Mitchell knows his plants and animals as certainly as any expert ecologist. But he stalks different game. He s after the shadows of older ways of seeing, something latent in the antique term natural history but deeper. John Stilgoe, New York Times Book Review"
