45 Years into the Wilderness

45 Years into the Wilderness is a social and culture history covering the period of 1965 through 2010. It is written by William C. Kriner, a member of the 1965 graduating class of DuBois Area High School, DuBois, Pennsylvania. While much has been written about the decade of the 1960s and each decade that followed, this is a special project since it is not an academic study but a personal explanation of what occurred and what resulted from one who lived it. 45 Years Into the Wilderness is delivered with the authority of an eyewitness account. With over 75 hours researching archives and conducting interviews with others who also lived through the time period, including dozens of classmates, Kriner's research, along with personal antidotes, gives credence to the analysis and justifies his arguments. 45 Years Into the Wilderness is not only a chronicle of what happened, but an analysis of why our culture has changed. In addition, the book contains a succinct description of where we are today as a result of changes wrought over the 45 years. Mr. Kriner concludes with personal solutions to what he calls the "bewilderment" of modern day society. Through this book, the reader will gain a better insight into the tumultuous sixties, how the sixties impacted the society in which we now live and how individuals can live a flourishing life amidst the changes that have occurred.
