The Cold Vanish: Seeking the Missing in North America's Wildlands by Jon Billman
5.0
Yikes, I typically read specific reviews after I write mine and I’m seeing that he main story centered around Jacob Gray was likely not presented truthfully by the author. I will be researching further.
****
Ever since I came across the notion about missing people
in National Parks, I have been intrigued and curious to learn more. But it seems like its a slippery slope into conspiracy theories. While the unexplainable was talked about in this book, it wasn’t the focus. I found the one consistent story with other stories in other chapters to be educational in how searches are conducted depending which jurisdiction you are in. My empathy also grew for those with missing people in their lives. It’s crazy to think with how connected and populated the earth is that there is still so many opportunities to just disappear. This book gave me a lot to think about and be aware of as we travel. Thankfully it didn’t scare me from getting out there, but it definitely gave me knowledge to have a different approach.
