Publisher's Synopsis
This anthology of over four hundred eighty anecdotes in two volumes is an accurate annotation of entries that were taken from the pages of Huckleberry Henry's personal journal. It was found meticulously wrapped in buckskin and securely tied with leather thongs, tucked inside a rough hewn
cedar chest, that had, in turn, been carefully deposited by Henry in a small cavity in the rock beneath a wide granite overhang high above Lion Creek. There, Henry had made certain that it would remain protected from the elements as well as from woodland creatures and creepy crawlies. Subsequently, he left tantalizing hints relating to the whereabouts of the journal. It was these clues, gleaned by the author during many summers tramping in the woods along the Selkirk Crest, that led him to its discovery. It seems clear that the journal had been preserved by the Hand of the Almighty to give those of us who believe in the Strange Tale of Huckleberry Henry further insight into his every-day activities. The circumstances of his life in the woods above Priest Lake, Idaho, were unique; nevertheless, each of us can learn valuable lessons from his experiences that can be applied to our own benefit.
