- Summary
- In his early twenties, Duncan MacGregor had three goals in mind when he decided to live in Algonquin Park- to learn everything the land had to teach him, to challenge what he believed to be the fundamental facts of life, and to live his life openly, without the restraints of modern society. He lived there for the next fifty years of his life, and this book is a collection of his memoirs put together by his son, Roy MacGregor.
