Review # 2 was written on 2008-01-26 00:00:00 Eron Allen Gruchow is a gifted writer who has ben compared to Thoreau by critics with good reason. Through essays arranged by season he describes escapades in the border country between Minnesota and Onterio with a seasoned naturalists perspective. His narratives bring the reader along on his journys while he explores the value of wild areas with captavating arguments for the need to preserve such areas for the well being of one's soul and for the well being of human kind. His acounts of his explorations are strikingly honest; he is not afraid to devulge insecurities and difficulties he has faced when heading out alone in these areas where a lack of respect can place one at great risk and at the mercy of the elemnets. His lack arrogance puts him on the same level as anyone who would take such trips and quells insecurities that any would-be wilderness traveler may have. After reading "Boudary Waters - Grace of the Wild" a solo trip into this area becomes a very desirable physical and spiritual challenge you will consider.
