Product Description
Rich with humor and natural history, this memoir describes 25 summers of back-to-the-earth adventure as author William L. Sullivan and his wife Janell build a log cabin by hand along a roadless river deep in the wilds of Oregon's Coast Range. Along the way they confront beaver in the refrigerator, raise a family, and puzzle out a murder mystery that had haunted their homestead site. Cabin Fever takes readers to a warm world of kerosene lamplight, wood stoves, and ghost stories that may be true.
About the Author
William L. Sullivan is the author of a dozen books about Oregon, including "Oregon Trips & Trails" and a popular "100 Hikes" series. "Listening for Coyote," Sullivan's journal of his 1000-mile solo backpacking trek across the state, was a finalist for the Oregon Book Award in creative nonfiction and topped the New York Times' year-end review of travel books. He and his wife Janell Sorensen live in Eugene, Oregon during the winter, but they spend summers far from roads, mail, and telephones at their log cabin in Oregon's Coast Range.
