In 1986, twenty-year-old Christopher Knight left his home in Massachusetts, drove to Maine, and disappeared into the woods. He would not have a conversation with another human being until nearly three decades later when he was arrested for stealing food. Living in a tent even in winter, he had survived by his wits and courage, developing ingenious ways to store food and water, to avoid freezing to death. He broke into nearby cottages for food, clothes, reading material, and other provisions, taking only what he needed, but terrifying a community never able to solve the mysterious burglaries. Based on extensive interviews with Knight himself, this is a vividly detailed account of the why and how of his secluded life--as well as the challenges he has faced returning to the world. A riveting story of survival that asks fundamental questions about solitude, community, and what makes a good life, and a deeply moving portrait of a man who was determined to live his own way, and succeeded"--Publisher description. 600 10 $a Knight, Christopher Thomas, $d 1965- 650 0 $a Hermits $z Smithfield Region $z Smithfield Region $v Biography. 650 0 $a Recluses $z Smithfield Region $z Smithfield Region $v Biography. 650 0 $a Thieves $z Smithfield Region $z Smithfield Region $v Biography. 650 0 $a Survival $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Solitude $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Large type books. 651 0 $a Smithfield Region (Me.) $v Biography. 941 $a 20 945 $a lpt 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240702023300.0 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20240614010441.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629013422.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201020708.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909043356.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220517010349.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20211215023503.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722054109.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20190306010811.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006113636.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20180731012127.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20180329071627.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20171215010417.0 952 $l YAPC771 $d 20171115010928.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20170921010355.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20170719010327.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20170627011954.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20170623011252.0 952 $l WWPC305 $d 20170524010842.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20170404013731.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=87912530E91511E691A568C0DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
