A mystical ageless moose continues to share his timeless knowledge of the earth and all that live upon it with twelve-year-old Benjamin. In this tale the Old Moose suggests a better way to celebrate Halloween - a story for young and old alike.

A divorce that cruelly unearthed lies, deceit, theft, abuse of trust and power, that severs a union with a partner who blithely alienates all loved ones, all family members: a final act of separation which, for spite and spite's sake alone, drags its opponent savagely across ten hideously pocked-marked months with idiotic wrangling; an absurd process that can, and did, empty the pockets of all but the gleeful lawyers; the outcome of which could seemingly hurl its survivor into the blackest abyss of despair or propel them, now unfettered, to the top of the highest mountain. I landed upon a mountaintop, literally. FOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF HENRY DAVID THOREAU.

Who hasn’t dreamed of escaping a humdrum existence, shredding unrelenting debts, thumbing a nose at ravenous utility behemoths, and fleeing to some remote mountain hideaway? Ben did! Pull up a chair, pour a pleasing beverage, and follow his journey as he strives to exist off the grid, on ten magnificent acres atop an Idaho mountain. In that isolated setting, as he labors to convert its tiny cabin into a self-sufficient abode, he began to imagine that he was evolving into a modern-day Henry David Thoreau. His story chronicles, with humor and wisdom, his first year with his struggles, trials, errors, lessons learned, blunders made, friends acquired, and curious encounters with neighborhood wildlife. It is informative, enlightening, funny, and inspirational. Military yarns, trucker’s tales, and anecdotes abound, and liberally laced with the wit and wisdom of Henry David.

The best memoirs of the American Civil War are those by soldiers who were in the thick of it, were observant, and who could really write. Benjamin Franklin Scribner was all three.In this volume, Scribner was not trying to tell the exact story of the battles he witnessed but, as he put it, "...to treat the subject in an introspective manner, from a personal standpoint, from the inner life, emotionally and subjectively..." He accomplishes his mission with grace, wit, and humility.When war broke out, Ben Scribner was sickened. He knew what war was, having served in the Mexican-American War. Now the small-town druggist had a family to care for. But he did his duty to his country.Scribner served under a slate of the most famous generals of the war (Buell, Rosecrans, Thomas, Grant, and Sherman). His work is full of anecdotes of episodes with these famous men. He also accomplishes the task of writing as a soldier who knows the close whistle of the minnie-ball and shot.
