In the Wilderness
ByPublisher Description
"In the Wilderness" by Charles Dudley Warner is a collection of personal essays that delve into the connection between humans and the natural world. The author shares his experiences in the Mountains, offering a glimpse into the beauty of the landscape and the unpredictable challenges of outdoor life. The collection is punctuated with stories that highlight both the humor and danger inherent in nature. In one such episode, the author recounts a tense yet amusing encounter with a bear while blackberry picking.
