Synopsis

America's most acclaimed outdoorsman now reveals the life story of Grandfather, the man who was the inspiration for all he knows. A Native American born in the 1880s, Grandfather roamed free--he lived by the simple code of the ancients, where the beauty of nature provided spiritual teaching. His wisdom offers enlightenment to all.

Reviews

YA-Another in the list of Brown's wilderness/mysticism/ethos/survival books. This one takes readers through some of the most profound experiences of the old Apache of the title, who imparted to his grandson the wisdom expressed in the author's earlier titles. Going much deeper than nostalgia for a lost way of life, this work exhorts readers to eschew materialism and waste, and return to a simpler but more satisfying relationship with the fragile Earth. Grandfather is filled with visions and mystical phenomena as it relates the old man's search for the universal and sublime truths that will enable humankind to find harmony with nature.
