At last, Tom Brown Jnr - America's most
acclaimed outdoorsman - tells the life story of his
greatest spiritual teacher. A man who has mastered and
shared the skills of survival, who learned from the
beauties of nature, and whose quest for inner peace can
enlighten us all. "Grandfather was an anachronism.
Modern time and place had no value in his world, for his
world was without limits or time. His world was truly one
of the ancients, part man, part animal, and almost
entirely spirit. His home was the wilderness, and in the
wilderness he tested all things. Most of all, he was a
searcher for truth. His was a life of grand simplicity
that few would ever know, where true riches were defined
in beauty." Here is the incredible true story of Tom
Brown Jnr's Native American teacher, whose tribe roamed
free, far from the chaos we call
"civilization". His wisdom is a remarkable
integration of different philosophies, of different
peoples, tribes and religions. Now, Tom Brown Jnr shares
the insights of his beloved teacher - insights that speak
to the eternal spirit within us all.
