Cabin_ Two Brothers, a Dream, and Five Acres in Maine - Lou Ureneck [100]
want to thank my daughter Elizabeth and my colleague Rob Manoff for their readings of the manuscript; my colleagues Mitch Zuckoff, Isabel Wilkerson, Nick Mills, Bob Zelnick and Richard Lehr for their encouragement and support; my nephews, Andrew, Kevin and Paulie for their hard work and good company along the way; and of course Paul, without whom there would be no cabin.
Also this: Just as no American can write a book about white whales without mentioning Melville and Moby-Dick, so no writer on the subject of cabins can fail to mention Henry Thoreau’s masterpiece, Walden. I first read the book in high school, and while he and I went to the woods for different reasons and at different ages, and I make no pretense of trying to measure my modest effort against the greatness of his book, these acknowledgments would be incomplete without a deep bow to Walden, which, along with Thoreau’s other writings, has had a profound effect on how I think about the world and the way to live in it.
