About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Wilderness; A Journal Of Quiet Adventure In Alaska by Rockwell Kent. Read in English by David Wales. The illustrator and author Rockwell Kent (1882-1971)wrote and illustrated this description of a trip to Alaska with his eldest son. Though an audiobook listener cannot, of course, see Kent's illustrations, the artist's eye is evident throughout the text. Wilderness: A Journal of Quiet Adventure in Alaska — Memoir of the fall and winter of 1918/19 painting and exploring with his eldest son – also Rockwell – on Fox Island in Resurrection Bay, Alaska (1920).
