Wilderness Fever: A Family's Adventures Homesteading in Early Jackson Hole, 1914-1924, Paperback

Descriere

In 1914, Linda and Mac Mc Kinstry left their secure jobs in Washington, D. C., married, and moved west to establish a homestead in country both untouched and beautiful, but also inhospitable, dangerous, and forty miles from anywhere. Their hair-raising, yet charming, account of their struggles to build a homestead and raise a family at the foot of the Tetons provides a glimpse into life in an region so wild and scenic that powerful outside interests covet its cascading water for irrigation and its land for preservation as a national park.
