Henry Beston was my Mother`s father . She came out to the California wild lands of the San Gabriel Mountain foothills and raised we grandchildren very close to the Earth . Feral in some terms .Followed by packs of coyotes at 4 years old , and now these transverse ranges coming down into the Pacific are the dearest thing to my heart . Yes we were raised wild by his daughter. Literally eating dirt akin to the indigenous peoples of the San Gabriel Mountains and valley . Far away from Cape Cod but with the same wild spirit .
Read Beston's Outermost House several years ago. A great read for all!
