About the Author
Ken Ilgunas is an acclaimed author, adventurer, and advocate for environmental and access rights, whose writings blend personal narrative with sharp social critique to illuminate the American landscape's hidden struggles. Born and raised in rural New York, Ilgunas has traversed the continent on foot, by bike, and in unconventional shelters, drawing from these experiences to challenge conventional notions of property, freedom, and belonging. His debut book, Trespassing: My Sojourn in the Alps, chronicled his youthful escapades abroad, while subsequent works delve deeper into the erosion of public spaces. A former park ranger and Thoreauvian wanderer, Ilgunas holds an MA in humanities and resides in Alaska, where he continues to explore and write about the intersections of nature, policy, and human spirit. Through his eloquent prose, he inspires readers to reclaim their right to roam and rethink our relationship with the land.
