About this listen

Eighty years ago a young man disappeared in the Utah wilderness. A large manhunt followed, but all they turned up was his last camp and a couple of burros. Pledge to the Wind: The Legend of Everett Ruess follows the adventures of Everett Ruess from his appearance in the Southwest in 1931, when he was only 17, until his disappearance in 1934, shortly before he turned 21. Theories abound as to what may have happened to him: drowned crossing the Colorado River, bit by a rattlesnake, fell off a cliff while trying to reach a ruin, killed by an Indian who thought he was a witch, shot by a rancher, etc. There are others who believe he didn't die at all and that the Navajo or the Hopi are hiding him. In this compelling narrative, Robert Louis DeMayo explores what might have happened.

Great read

I really enjoyed this one. Listened to it twice. Although they were from a different era I prefer Everett Ruess to Christopher McCandless. I won't go into reasons because it doesn't matter.

I was a little sad at the end but admire Everett.

I appreciate much of the book is conjecture but he chased his dreams.

I hope his death was swift as it makes me a little sad to think he suffered.

Regards.
