Camping with an Indian Pipe Holder, fending of a cabin-marauding red squirrel, and lobbying in Minnesota's Hundred-Year's War over federal lands are stopovers on one man's search for wilderness. From a boyhood infatuation with motorboats to a pro-wilderness adult perspective, the author traces the evolution of wilderness as a personal perspective, with a colorful cast of Northland characters offering their opinions on nature. Season of the Loon is an honest look at competing perspectives and the subcultures that provide them.
