Synopsis "foxey brown (in English)"

Foxey Brown: A Story of an Adirondack Outlaw, Hermit and Guide as He Might Have Told It is the fact-based story of railroad worker and college student David Brennan who fled to the Adirondack Mountains in 1890 after a Boston barroom fight. Convinced he had killed a man in the fight Brennan became a lumberjack, hermit and guide. Forced to change his name, Brennan came to be known as David "Foxey" Brown. As Foxey Brown he overcame many obstacles, established a self-sufficient homestead, and became a highly respected hunting and fishing guide only to have tragedy strike that led to the largest manhunt in Adirondack history. Brown's life coincided with establishment of the Adirondack Park in 1885 and rise of the American conservation movement. As an Adirondack resident and guide Brown witnessed and experienced how working class people tried to cope with increasingly strict State conservation laws and private parks as traditional ways of life disappeared. Some individuals resorted to thievery, poaching, setting forest fires and murder. More than a history, Foxey Brown... is about human resilience and the transformation of a man's outlook and approach to life. Despite having taken place nearly a century ago, Brown's experience has messages for modern people.
