At age seventeen, Eustace Conway, arguably thepinnacle of American masculinity, left the comfortof his middle-class suburban home to live inthe woods. Back then he considered himself a manof destiny -- a true frontiersman, who, by example, could lead soulless consumer-happy Americans to a more natural state of existence.
