From the Back Cover:
"One Man Against the Mountain" is a slightly fictionalized account of an outdoorsman's quest to prove that he could survive through a winter at high elevations in the Big Horn Mountains near Sheridan, Wyoming. Living in a canvas tent, relying on supplies he had brought in on horseback the previous fall and occasional help from people who had told him he was crazy to try this quest, he not only survived but learned a lot about himself and the generosity of others. Danny Longwell, a Sheridan, Wyoming, resident and his two dogs lived through brutal subzero temperatures and deadly blizards, cutting wood to fire the small wood stove that kept the temperature inside the tent survivable. Longwell kept a journal of his adventure, and excerpts from the journal are used throughout the book, as well as photographs he took during his time on 'the mountain.'
