Idaho loners : hermits, solitaries, and individualists

The gist of this book can be summed up in the words of Chinese hermit Shan-chuan: "I have my place in the world. In winter I wear skins. In summer I wear hemp. In spring I plow and plant and have enough to do. In fall I harvest and gather and have enough to eat. When the sun rises I get up. When it sets I rest. I am free to do what I want in this world and with this I am content." So would say Wildhorse Cowgirl The Cove Recluse Buckskin Bill and the others in this book.
