A wildlife ecologist recounts her personal and
professional observations and adventures in the
wilderness of New York's Adirondack Mountains. The
compelling story of one woman's self-imposed sojourn in
the wilderness. When Ecologist LaBastille divorced from
her husband, she moved to a 20-acre parcel of land in
the Adirondack mountains where she built the cozy,
primitive log cabin that became her permanent home.
Miles from the nearest town, LaBastille had to depend on
her wits, ingenuity, and the help of generous neighbors
for her survival. She chronicles her adventures on Black
Bear Lake, capturing the power of the landscape, the
rhythms of the changing seasons, and the beauty of
nature's many creatures.
