One hundred years ago, Henry Thoreau wrote of the charms and joys
of simple living in the woods, away from the hectic nuisances of
our city civilization. His philosophy has become part of our
American heritage, as sound today as the day he first set it down.
But his advice on the simple life has seemed too rugged for later
generations, brought up in cities, pampered with conveniences and
scared of nature. Vena and Brad Angier were fed up with their city
bound existence and longtime readers and admirers of Thoreau, they
set out to see if his discoveries were valid today. This is the
account of two wilderness-loving tenderfeet, who headed for the
tall timber on the banks of the Peace River, British Columbia.
There near the trading post of Hudson Hope they found their Walden.
How they made themselves 'At Home in the Woods,' stocked their
cabin, met their interesting wilderness neighbors who helped them
get settled and who saw them through their first winter makes
honest and exciting reading. The city-bred Angiers found out that
Thoreau was right when he wrote: "What people say you can not do,
you try and find you can."
