Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love, crafts an intimate and vivid portrait of Eustace Conway, a true American mountain man. Gilbert illustrates the whole man: Eustace's extraordinary accomplishments (such as crossing the country on horseback in 103 days) and one-with-nature lifestyle, as well as his frustrations, troubled relationships, and narcissistic streak. Expansive and enthralling.
