The nature writing of Gary Ferguson arises out of intimate
experience. He trekked 500 miles through Yellowstone to write
Walking Down the Wild and spent a season in the field at a
wilderness therapy program for Shouting at the Sky. He journeyed
250 miles on foot for Hawks Rest and followed through the seasons
the first fourteen wolves released into Yellowstone National Park
for The Yellowstone Wolves. But nothing could prepare him for the
experience he details in his new book.The Carry Home is both a
moving celebration of the outdoor life shared between Ferguson and
his wife Jane, who died tragically in a canoeing accident in
northern Ontario in 2005, and a chronicle of the mending, uplifting
power of nature. Confronting his unthinkable loss, Ferguson set out
to fulfill Jane's final wish: the scattering of her ashes in five
remote, wild locations they loved and shared. The act of the carry
home allows Ferguson the opportunity to ruminate on their life
together as well as explore deeply the impactful presence of nature
in all of our lives.Theirs was a love borne of wild places, and The
Carry Home offers a powerful glimpse into how the natural world can
be a critical prompt for moving through cycles of immeasurable
grief, how bereavement can turn to wonder, and how one man
rediscovered himself in the process of saying goodbye.
