Author's Tranquility Press proudly presents Try N Find Us by Frederic Buse, a powerful and immersive memoir that charts the remarkable true journey of two young urbanites who bought a piece of the wilderness and paid for it in sweat, ingenuity, and hard won wisdom.
In 1961, Fred Buse and his wife Dot purchased a stone house on five wooded acres. Armed with scant country knowledge but immense determination, they soon discovered their new world was one of trial and error. Their property came with a party line telephone, a hand pump from another era, and the looming legacy of an abandoned iron mine. Their eight-year saga is a chronicle of the relentless education only the land can provide.
Try N Find Us is a visceral plunge into a life defined by physical labor and practical problem solving. Readers will navigate the suspense of raising a garage wall, the ache of laying a concrete foundation with rocks from a stream, and the challenge of recurring floods. They will share in the humor of naming a dog Tinkle for its anxious habits and the frustration of a Christmas tree so large it barely fits through the door.
Yet this story transcends a simple log of chores. It is a profound meditation on transformation, community, and the slow realization that one does not tame nature but learns to coexist with it. The narrative captures the stark beauty of the changing seasons, the silent understanding between neighbors who help without being asked, and the profound satisfaction of sitting on a bench you built from a tree you felled.
Frederic Buse writes with the steady hand of an engineer and the reflective heart of a man forever marked by his experience. His prose is clear, honest, and often startling in its vivid recall, making the reader a companion in every triumph and setback.
This memoir is a tribute to a forgotten era of self-reliance, a guidebook of lessons learned the hard way, and ultimately, a love letter to a specific patch of earth and the life that grew from it.
Try N Find Us is available for purchase in paperback and hardback on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and ThriftBooks. For readers who cherish true stories of adventure, resilience, and the raw beauty of building something with your own hands, this book is an indispensable and deeply moving read.
