Kephart was not one of those unfortunate outdoor writers, long on experience but painfully short on language, who have difficulty composing a single intelligible sentence. Nor was he one of those showy writers who mistakenly believe that good prose is all a matter of heaping up the adjectives. Best of all, he did not belong to the lump-in-the-throat school of outdoor writing. He doesn't inflict his raptures on the reader—the trembling knees, the tingling spine, the throbbing heart; Kephart was too good a student of literature not to know that ecstasy is the most elusive of visitations. It may come to anyone, but few can recreate it in language. Kephart could, when he chose and when it was appropriate, strike an elegiac or lyrical note, but in his prose style, as in other matters, he took Nessmuk as his model. Describing a trail on which he began a solitary sixty-mile, ten-day tramp through the wilderness, Nessmuk wrote that it "ended as nearly all trails do; it branched off to the right and left, grew dimmer and slimmer, degenerated to a deer path, petered out to a squirrel track, ran up a tree, and ended in a knot hole." Nessmuk, mind, is describing the process of getting lost, describing it as if it were all a great lark, and his droll manner is more than a prose style; it is an attitude. Similarly, Kephart, who says that the man who is lost is not in danger from the wilderness, which pitiless niggard though it be to the weak-minded or disabled, can yet be forced to yield food and shelter to him who is able-bodied and keeps his wits about him. No: the man's danger is from himself. The man's danger is from himself— who knew better than Kephart? To fight off that danger—or, as he put it, "to keep off the blue devils of the woods"—is why he wrote Camping and Woodcraft. The writing itself was a way of clearing the head and robbing the woods of their spooks. Kephart is at the top of his form as a writer when he deals with the subjects of panic and dismay. "One must starve to know what one will eat," he writes, and after discussing with zeal the culinary merits of Text continued on page 114 NEW!\ CATALOG Dwarf fruit trees, award-winning roses, shrubs, vines, shade {[005 almost 400 varieties and assortments.
