7. Beginners Luck: Dispatches from the Klamath Mountains

By Malcolm Terence (236 pp)

This is a terrific memoir about life up the Salmon River in NW California. There's a little bit of everything: hippies, commune living, logging, mining, fire fighting, and Karuks. Malcolm has a great story starting in the Bay Area and ending up at Black Bear commune and eventually settling in the area. Also a good history for how tribes/rural areas dealt with government agencies several decades ago.
