The Last Resort: Journal of a Salt River Camp 1942-43
Part field journal, part diary, The Last Resort: Journal of a Salt River Camp 1942-43 by John C. Goodlett chronicles the outdoor adventures of a group of young men in rural America just before they are called to serve during World War II. Their story is a reminder of a time when our lives were more rooted in the natural world, before a global war and the industries and public institutions it spawned accelerated our dislocation from our homes and our land.
