Check out this new article of Richard Proenneke in Foreward Reviews by Editor-in-Chief Matt Sutherland
(In the 5th Question, the second paragraph in the answer was jumbled a bit. Here is how the response actually reads:
"There is a very fine line between life and death, and it seemed Richard was right up to that fine line throught his life. On Richard's 12th birthday, his younger brother Paul died. At age 21, involved in a motorcycle accident his good friend died while Richard only sustained minor cuts and bruises; surviving rheumatic fever while on a layover in the Navy, when so many did not; nearly losing his sight while helping a welding contractor. His fortitude and endurance and self-determination to conquer whatever was being thrown at him is a testament to him."

These Journals are the writings of Richard Proenneke in his own hand and provide a detailed accounting of Richard's experiences of his life at Twin Lakes Alaska. Follow Richard's daily encounters as he travels through the region, putting into practice the life's lessons he had learned along the way; living in the moment; living each day to the fullest; taking one day at a time, always moving forward. To know and understand Mother Nature intimately as no other would, what Mother Nature is capable of offering us, and what She can take away in an instant. Richard found a place and a lifestyle that put him in touch with the rhythm of Mother Earth and of life itself. Richard understood that "oneness with nature is an experience rather than an expression."
