This well-preserved copy of Hal Borland’s “King of Squaw Mountain” offers a captivating glimpse into the life and times of one of America’s most renowned naturalist writers. Published in 1957, this autobiographical work chronicles Borland’s experiences as a young man living in a remote cabin on Squaw Mountain in Connecticut during the Great Depression. With his signature lyrical prose, Borland paints a vivid picture of the rugged New England landscape and the challenges of self-sufficient living, while also exploring themes of solitude, personal growth, and man’s relationship with nature. Borland’s intimate connection with the natural world and his ability to convey its beauty and complexity have earned him a place among the greats of American nature writing, alongside luminaries like Henry David Thoreau and John Muir. This particular copy, with its library markings and well-worn dust jacket, bears the patina of many hands and minds that have delved into Borland’s timeless tale, making it a treasured artifact for collectors and readers alike.
