Volume 4 completes the Sleeping Moose series.

Taking place just a decade before cellphones, four-wheeler ATVs and home computers were introduced, this nearly-modern day pioneering epic is a good read for idealists, realists, and those interested in the story of two 19th Century Romantics who were born one hundred years too late and ten years too early. Their partnership, forged and tempered by countless difficulties encountered and surmounted, is both an adventure story and a love story.

If you thrill when choosing the road less taken, and you are nostalgic when it comes to times gone by, then you should have enjoyed Volumes 1 and 2 of the Sleeping Moose series. They were such free romps through woods and meadows, who wouldn't love that? But now we enter a new year, and many of the paradigms have changed. This winter on the mountain seems harder than the years that came before. At times the pioneers' circumstances take on a desperation that calls to mind the difficulties of the Donner Party. Kate's journal from the winter of 1979-'80 gives a realistic account of daily life and bare survival out in the Alaskan Bush.

In 1976, two idealistic newlyweds find what they believe is the perfect spot to settle, at the very end of a dirt road in Sleeping Moose, Alaska. They soon learn that 'end of the road' living is not for the faint of heart. Luckily, they have two great mentors, homesteaders from the 1950s, who teach them everything they'll need to know, in order to cope with life in the bush.

This is the final volume of "Sleeping Moose Saga." by Atwood Cutting. Parts one and two followed two twentieth-century pioneers as they built their hand-hewn house and started a family. While living on their remote homestead they survived a couple of harsh winters, then took jobs in Fairbanks for two winters, returning each summer to continue working on their little farm at the end of the road.Now the house is complete. Their beautiful home sits right where a moose once slept and the dirt track dead-ends at wilderness. Running water and a flushing toilet are in, and the family can revel in their private, wildflower world.After a decade of fervent mountaintop toil, a handful of newcomers moves onto the road and begins to encroach upon the Peter''s privacy. Some people just don''t play well with others. The vivid dream of a "Camelot" world pales as tension develops over the shared road. Ill feelings increase until two feuding couples square off over how things should go. It looks like a road war might be near.Then, when some of the old-timer neighbors from way up the other fork enter into the mix, a string of mysterious arsons (and worse) puts folks on edge. What does a rational woman do when her utopian-fellowship dream goes up in flames? Kate wants to high-tail it, but Tim isn''t ready to go. He points out that they''ve "licked almost all the problems of living up there.". . . Almost.

If the woods call your name, then you should follow. But if you can't clear your schedule, you'll want to read this book about life in the wilderness, before there were cellphones.The quest for utopia is as old as Humanity, itself. "Where the Moose Slept," a significant revision of volumes 1 and 2 of Tales from Sleeping Moose, is the first book in a trilogy that tells the story of two dreamers who join hands to bring into reality their visions of perfection.The setting is deep in a field of wildflowers, far from any city. Kate, the poet, has come from Hawaii to Alaska, 'to see a winter.' It is during the Alaska oil boom, and two anachronistic romantics have heeded the call of the wild and journeyed to meet their life's adventure in the far north.Fact-based fiction, the "Sleeping Moose Saga" trilogy might be called a late 20th century pioneering epic. For the protection of all, the characters and location have been reconstituted, however the events are true. Some are documented with old family photographs, as well as several letters written from the isolated pioneer to her mother. These treasures were kept, and later handed down to the author, by her grandmother.A perfect companion read to any academic study of Emerson, Tim and Kate's pioneering odyssey takes his Transcendentalist vision of self-reliance, and puts real muscle into it.Call it "Idealism meets Reality." Unfortunately, the outcome of this particular wilderness experiment more closely resembles "seeing the elephant" of many of the mid-19th century covered wagon migrations west, than the well-deserved victory imagined by those hundreds of thousands of daring pioneers who left their homes in search of something greater.Incorporating several mini-episodes, each one readable in a single sitting, the author describes battles with the uncompromising weather, the rarely navigable mud road, and the unfathomable neighbors living at the end of that road.To some, her style might call to mind the writings of James Herriot for its earthiness and situational humor. The author well understands the world she is describing. Newborn Atwood Cutting was transported home on a snowmobile, and she lived her first decade right there on America's Last Frontier, with her pioneering parents leading the way into the wilderness.In telling her family's tale, Cutting describes how cheechakos, Kate and Tim Peters, addressed such challenges as: Teamwork, required for wilderness living Emergency communications, before there were cellphones Remote transportation, before there were four-wheelers Rustic construction projects, before there was electricity Hand hewn post and beam engineering Baby care, without family, friends, or water Close encounters with that trifecta of the "Alaskan bush,"Nature…Mother Nature…Human NatureColorfully transcribing a pre-technological lifestyle no longer embraceable by any but the most strictly-intentioned of ascetics, this true account of two newlyweds who voluntarily spend twelve years on a remote mountain, will likely evoke disbelieving skepticism in modern young adults, and fond memories in octogenarians. Nature lovers and DIY souls of every age will herald this quintessential adventure, as fascinating, enlightening, and intrinsically entertaining.
