Summary

"In 1986, twenty-year-old Christopher Knight left his home in Massachusetts, drove to Maine, and disappeared into the woods. He would not have a conversation with another human being until nearly three decades later when he was arrested for stealing food. Living in a tent even in winter, he had survived by his wits and courage, developing ingenious ways to store food and water to avoid freezing to death... Based on extensive interviews with Knight himself, this is a... detailed account of the why and how of his secluded life--as well as the challenges he has faced returning to the world."--, Publisher description
