When Anne LaBastille passed away in July, the Adirondack region lost one of its best protectors. In this, her first book, she describes how she came to live on a lake in the Adirondacks, un-accessible by car, in a cabin that she constructed herself. Her fascination with the natural world and the history of the upstate New York region is evident as she recounts her experiences over the course of several years. Mixing practical skills with science, history and biography LaBastille provides an inspirational first-hand account of self-sufficiency and the community that makes it possible. Her legacy as an environmentalist, activist and "woodswoman" will live on as long as the Adirondack park remains "forever wild".
