I would like to know more about Richard Proenneke of Alone in the Wilderness fame; his early years especially. Dave Mantor Fairmount, IN
I would like to know the legal side of Mr. Proenneke's life in Alaska. Did he stake a homestead claim? Did he buy the land? Was it simply unowned by anyone? - David Gilbert, Englewood Colorado

Does anyone have a catalog number or reference for the documentary as shown on PBS? Perhaps in DVD form? --Ds13 00:54, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] objectivity
This article's tone is a bit too familiar and makes many assumptions.
The above comment is extremely polite: this reads like a cross between a high school essay about this guy and a discovery narrative special. It practically oozes ill-informed love for Mr. Proenneke (who sounds like a pretty cool guy to me). I think someone should take an hour and try and tighten this up. We should probably lose a little information in the first round; there's quite a bit here that to me doesn't belong in the wikipedia: This entry is nearly longer than Pope John Paul I's entry, for instance.
- Don't be absurd. People have a choice what to read in an article. To delete information is to deprive them of some of that choice. This is not a paper encyclopedia, with expensive paper issues.
- I dont think there's too much, I would have liked to read more on the guy.
