Gene Eller has been hunkered down in a Louisiana college teaching for
the past 25 years, but he lives and breaths in the northern Arkansas
Ozarks where he works on rehabilitating and reconstructing his
well-being not to mention the house some survivalist left abandoned 20
years ago. Yes, it's true; he spends a lot of time taking down razor
wire and turning gun emplacements into windows that open, but in the
process has rediscovered there's a natural world out there. That's what
has stimulated his renewed efforts to read and write about the almost
forgotten earth.
