Soul of a Mountain Man Free Audiobook Download by Donald L. Robertson
In the 1970s, Donald Robertson's car broke down on a remote mountain pass in Colorado. He found himself stranded and with just enough food to keep him alive for three days. Without a way to call for help, he became a man of the wilderness and resolved to live as one of nature's creatures. Robertson tells this story in his memoir "The Soul of a Mountain Man." His narrative is both educational and entertaining. The voice actor who performed the audiobook did an excellent job.
In this audiobook, 'Scott Miller', with his rugged voice, guides you through the life of mountain man Donald L. Robertson. This work was published after the author's death and is a tribute to a man who lived an adventurous life in the wilderness.
As the title suggests, this is a book about the soul of mountain men who actively seek out solitude. Author Donald L. Robertson shares his thoughts on how mountain men achieve serenity and tranquility not just physically but also mentally. Mountain men often push themselves to their limits in order to find peace in nature and solitude.
The novel takes place in the early 20th century United States, and is narrated by the son of the protagonist. After a woman tricks him into marriage, the protagonist takes his son from her and begins his journey back to himself. He begins with an effort to change his physical self--he starts to eat less, exercise more, and work more hours in order for his body's own natural processes to return. Gradually he finds himself attracted to different women who are just like him--alone and trying not to be as dependent on outside sources
"A man's soul is like the blood in his veins--it can be as dark as coal or as brilliant as stars. The difference is in how we use it, and how far."
A great book that takes you on a journey of self-discovery. There is something for everyone here. Readers will find themselves in the story and it will be hard to put down.
