Just An Accident

by Amy Montgomery

There was no blood at the scene, not even a cut on his body. Yet on May 25, 1999, when the top of a massive beech tree snapped off and slammed into 33-year-old, Adirondack logger Scott Remington, his bones exploded. The terrain was unforgiving and the area too remote for cell phones. So the fact that paramedics reached him and got him out of the woods is a miracle. So is the improbable aftermath of a freak accident whose outcome felt like death to a woodsman who never knew how to sit still.

This was an interesting book about a young man paralyzed from the waist down after a logging accident. Took place in upper state NY, near Glens Falls. Learned a lot about what he has to deal with on a daily basis. Learned a lot.
