This a fictionalized account of a true story - the tale of how two rough Maine woodsmen took a young Theodore Roosevelt under their wing in 1878 and introduced him to the beautiful but unforgiving woodlands of the Northeast.

This collection of poetry, prose and journal excerpts was composed during a fifteen year period that I was mostly nomadic.

We resist change, even when it's exactly what we need. Most of us prefer to wallow in our losses before letting our hearts drift into the future. And even when that change is thrust upon us, we suffer through it, only reluctantly traveling that new road.
