Summary: A story that is timeless and life-changing.
Comment: I first read this book in the late 1970s and it changed my life. This book encouraged me in an already fanatical interest in tracking, which has since become a lifelong pursuit. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about nature and how to understand the intricacies of the natural world. Through intriguing stories of his own early life, Tom brings alive for the reader the lessons he learned in nature and awakens an interest in all things natural. If you want to read a book that will cause you to change the way you look at the world, that will awaken interests and feelings of wonder at the environment around you, then this is the book for you. Be prepared for a "wild" ride. (Pun intended.)

Summary: The Greatest Environmentalist Bar None
Comment: Tom Brown, Jr. is the greatest outdoorsman, environmentalist, and nature writer of all time. He easily eclipses the likes of Emerson, Burroughs, and Muir leaving them hopelessly in the dust. Tom did not just explore, travel through, or 'camp' in the woods. He actually lived there - for years and years on-end. No one has his insight into life, nature, and man's relationship to both. Unfortunately, there is no single book that sums up all the learning, philosophy, and skills Brown has to teach. How could there be? What Brown knows could fill an encyclopedia! The Tracker, Brown's first book, is the starting point. You will do yourself a disservice, however, if you stop here. Hopefully you will find, like so many others, that you just have to read all of Brown's other books. If so, consider yourself lucky. I had to wait for years as each book was released. You can get them right away. Best wishes!

Summary: Just might change your life
Comment: "The Tracker" by Tom Brown is more than the story of a boy learning to be a man. The book takes place in a humble New Jersey woods called The Pine Barrens. Tom and his best friend Rick learn respect and love for nature from "Grandfather," an aged Indian who sprinkles wisdom into his lessons. Two eager boys soak up his knowledge.
Certain images from this book will remain with me forever. Brown tells the story of a man lost in the woods. Panicked, the man travels in heartbreaking circles, not far from help, but he is too frightened to think. In another tale, Brown talks of his experiences as a boy scout and how the entire scout troop (lost in a blizzard) was so frightened they actually prepared to die because they didn't know how to help themselves. Those two incidents both pained and enlightened me.
The Pine Barrens is a sacred place, and you will finish this book knowing a few of its secrets. And you'll find a few nuggets of insight into the world of nature. You might even be surprised at what you learn about man. I'm really not much of an outdoorsman, but when I finished the book I wanted to spend more time in the wilderness and try to learn something from this wonderful world.
