Birth: | 12th February, 1968 |
Death: | August, 1992 |
Nationality: | American |
Profession: | Adventurer |
Christopher Johnson McCandless was born in El Segundo, California. He was an American adventurer. He graduated from Emory University on May 12, 1990, with a Bachelor's degree, double majoring in history and anthropology. He ventured into the Alaskan wilderness in April 1992 with little food and equipment, hoping to live simply for a time in solitude. Almost four months later, McCandless's starved remains were found, weighing only 30 kilograms. His death occurred in a converted bus used as a backcountry shelter, along the Stampede Trail on the eastern bank of the Sushana River. A full-length article on McCandless also appeared in the February 8, 1993, issue of the The New Yorker magazine.
