Judge Regarding Books Indian Creek Chronicles: A Winter Alone in the Wilderness
Yet another "young man goes into the wilderness" story. For a change, nothing really dire happens to this young man. Pete Fromm was a college student when he was offered the opportunity to spend the winter in a tent in Idaho guarding salmon eggs for the National Park Service. With a puppy named Boone and a truck full of supplies, and armed with the Foxfire manuals and Brad Angier's books on survival, he was delivered to his campsite before the first snow with an ax and instructions on how much

One day in my American Lit. I was posed with a dilemma. I had to choose my semester novel. I knew one thing and one thing only;I needed to choose something that interested my in order to hold my attention. Being from Northwest Montana I love hunting, fishing, hiking etc.,so immediately when I read the back of Pete Fromm's adventurous story it was as if Indian Creek Chronicles was destined for me. Indian Creek Chronicles captures the mind of any wilderness loving person, young or old. From Pete

On a whim, Missoula student, Pete Fromm agrees to spend seven months in the wilderness keeping the Indian Creek salmon nursery ice free when approached by a female co-ed who had to renege on her commitment at the last minute. Fromm envisions himself "mountain man" material after growing up on Jim Beckworth's writings, Lord Grizzly and The Big Sky.Fromm does prepare well in only two short weeks for his adventure. The book chronicles what he learns in the wilderness, close calls, disappointments

For me, this book was a bit of a disappointment. I actually picked it up on recommendation ( or maybe it was just a mention ) by one of my favorite authors. I had no problem getting into it, it wasn't necessarily slow or bad. There just wasn't a lot to it. Our author takes a job that is going to require him to be in the wilderness alone for 7 months. I guess I kind of was expecting "Into The Wild" with a happy ending. In the end it was a love story about a man and nature. I am fine with that,

I alternated between liking and disliking this book but in the end, I could not put it down and read it quite quickly. I seem to be on a fix for reading people living alone in wilderness situations. This book was appealing because it was well-written, and it was interesting to watch the transformation of Fromm who, at first, had quite an idealistic view of a "mountain man" lifestyle. After taking a job with Fish and Wildlife (I think) in Idaho, he quickly found out it's not ideal at all. I

This is an outstanding memoir, perhaps the best one that I have yet read, and one that I may read again. The narrator exhibits a wry innocence in this coming-of-age story, and the prose is earnest, highly accessible, and at times even lyrical and haunting. The imagery is often arresting, and the insights will easily reverberate with a broad audience. This memoir could compete with the best of the Bildungsroman genre, and with the exception of the inclusion of a certain alliterative epithet that

Excellent book. A simple story, yet a page turner. I really felt like I was living in a tent out in the Idaho wilderness while reading this book. Sad to send it back to the library.
