She's an ecological consultant, writer, photographer and lecturer, with her major "claim to fame" being her four autobiographical [i]Woodswoman [/i]books, in which she explores her experiences building a cabin and leading a Thoreau-like existence in the Adirondacks. [i]Woodswoman, Beyond Black Bear Lake, Woodswoman III, and Woodswoman IV [/i]appeared in 1976, 1987, 1997, and 2003 respectively. Her other publications include [i]Assignment: Wildlife[/i], a book of essays; Jaguar Totem: The Woodswoman Explores New Wildlands & Wildlife; [i]Women and Wilderness[/i], a series of profiles of wilderness women; and several non-fiction titles for children. LaBastille moved to the woods in the 60's (when she was in her 20's). To this day, she lives with her German Shepherd dog in the Adirondacks, dividing her time between a remote cabin during the warm seasons and a farmhouse in winter. Here are a couple of good links about her: http://eclecticeveryday.blogspot.com/2004_08_01_archive.html http://cornellalumnimagazine.com/Archive/2004Julaug/depts/Currents.html [brown][size=1]The View From My Boots: [green]www.bovesboots.blogspot.com[/green] [/size=1][/brown] [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
