Growing up in the Trinity Alps, Joel and his brothers learned how to do the numerous and varied tasks necessary for survival while carving out a life in their remote wilderness ... [This] combines his parents' writings with Joel's own recollections to create a fascinating and entertaining account of the family's struggle and triumph creating a life of freedom in the wilderness"--Publisher's description.
