• Elizabeth Gilbert and her Book "The Last American Man"

  At age 17, Eustace Conway left home to live in a teepee he had designed. He lived off the land, hunting for meat, and gathering other things to eat from the forest. But Eustace wasn't living on the western frontier, set up his camp in North Carolina. And he did it in 1977, the year the first Star Wars movie was released. In time he created his own environmental training school, walked the Appalachian trail, and set a new world record for travelling from coast to coast on horseback. He drew followers like a magnet, but many of the people who grew close to him couldn't keep up with his hard-driving ethic, and extremely high standards. Writer Elizabeth Gilbert profiles Conway in her book "The Last American Man"
