The current Boxer Book Club selection is Indian Creek Chronicles by Pete Fromm.
About the Book
Winner of the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Book Award, Indian Creek Chronicles is Pete Fromm’s account of seven winter months spent alone in a tent in Idaho guarding salmon eggs and coming face to face with the blunt realities of life as a contemporary mountain man. A gripping story of adventure and a modern-day Walden, this contemporary classic established Fromm as one of the West’s premier voices.
From St. Martin's Griffin (Publisher)
You can order the book from Pacific University's Bookstore.
