There are many encounters with visitors that Richard Proenneke chronicled in his journal. Readers will also learn of the tremendous correspondence he engaged in with both old friends from his hometowns of Primrose and Donnellson, Iowa, as well as new found friends and fans from all over the nation as a result of the widespread public acclaim of his book, "One Man's Wilderness." Richard Proenneke also had many encounters with National Park Service personnel and researchers, such as Priscilla Russell and Albert Wassillie and over time he himself became a Volunteer-in-the-Park. Early in the 1980s there was still a bit of sport hunting going on at Twin Lakes in spite of the National Park Service trying to get the word ou tht sport hunting was no longer permitted in the new national park around Twin Lakes. Proenneke was involved in a few poaching cases as an observer after the fact,as he salvaged moose or caribou kills for edible meat. Some of these episodes were mentioned in his journals and they are included in this third Volume.
