I think the most interesting thing about reading The Backpacker was discovering who Albert Saijo was. Saijo was in high school when in 1942 his family was interned in the Hart Mountain internment camp. He spent his high school years locked up for being Japanese-American and while he was there he was editor of the camp high school newspaper. From an early age he wrote poetry and prose. Saijo met many of the beat poets of the 1950 and was friends with Jack Kerouac. Saijo traveled with Kerouac from Los Angeles to New York and they wrote haikus together. He was one of several Japanese-American published beat poets.
Read the Backpacker to hear Albert Saijo's love of the wilderness, perhaps try some of the recipes in the food chapter, but get your health and safety wilderness advice from more current sources.… (altro)
