DESCRIPTION:
"A Good Overview of Hubbard's Life and Work" according to Theresa Williams. On my shelf I have several works by Wendell Berry. I'm a great admirer of both his poetry and his essays. So when I found this title in Lewisville, KY while I was on an extended boat journey down the Ohio River I didn't hesitate to buy it. The book is divided into eight short chapters and begins with Harlan Hubbard embarking on his "New Life," just after the death of his mother, a new life that would eventually carve a place for him in Kentucky Legend. This "New Life" involved his marriage to Anna and their trip down the Ohio and Mississippi River in t. Excellent view of lives well-lived. chSunspirit Harlan and Anna Hubbard died in their 80'sin the late 80's.Wendell Berry gives a friend's appreciation of their liveswell-livedso that others can REMEMBER.and perhaps live THEIR OWN lives FULLY!. rootmeansquared said Living the life of Thoreau.. This is a well-written story about two people who lived the life espoused by Thoreau. As a reader and fan of Thoreau I found it to be a real treat. I will probably buy and read the books written by Harlan Hubbard.
