The Last American Man

The Last American Man
By Elizabeth Gilbert

It’s not easy to find exceptional examples of men living in our modern society. Men that live life outside the status quo. I have always been interested in learning of ways in which others have chosen to do something different and are unique in finding their own personal American Dream. Eustace Conway is a fantastic example of someone that has chosen a different path. Documented by Elizabeth Gilbert in The Last American Man is an account of Eustace choosing from an early age to live off the land and preserve his masculinity in recapturing the American Frontier. I learned a lot about the primal instincts of men that are stripped away in a culture driven by technology in striving to do more faster at a cheaper cost. Eustace has spent his years re-learning on how to live off and preserve this beautiful country and has dedicated his life to passing on that knowledge to the next generation of youth. He has been on adventures that most of us couldn't even dream of.
