McCandless has finally set out on his journey to alaska.

McCandless continued his journey hitchhiking from town to town.

Chris traveled along the coast of California. He traveled to Arizona and stayed there for a while and actually got a job. He considered staying there.

Chris' parents are very worried about him because they haven't heard from him in a long time and received a ticket for hitchhiking in the mail.

While traveling, Chris had to abandon his car because of a flash flood.

Chris left right after graduating without telling anyone. He now goes by Alex.

When McCandless was hitchhiking, he got a job from someone and was apparently the hardest worker they had seen.

McCandless' body was found in the back of an abandoned bus in the Alaskan outback by some hunters.

Alex found a car to hitchhike in and asked to be dropped off in the middle of nowhere with limited supplies.

All I read is the author's notes, which basically gave the whole background on the story of Chris McCandless.

The man that Robey killed had a brother and he returned to get revenge, but Robey killed him. He wanted to feel bad about killing this man and his brother, but he could not. The man who raped Rachel also returned for revenge, but Robey killed him too. Rachel tried to kill herself because the pain was too much, but Robey saved her and she gave birth to twin boys.

Robey and Rachel stayed in a stable for the night and they woke to it burning down. After escaping they were almost back to Robey's house because they saw the mercantile where he got the coal-black horse from. It was burnt to the ground and the anvil was all that was left. He made it home with Rachel and he was greeted by his mother but had to tell her the news about his father. They figured out Rachel's pregnant.

They continued to travel and they found a house with an old lady to stay in for a few days.

The girl, whose name is Rachel, calls out the man who had done her wrong so many times and he falls to his knees and starts praying. After what he did to her, Robey pulls out his pistol to kill him, but Rachel kills the man instead, with a pitchfork.

Robey buried his father and went to find the girl. When he arrived at the barn where the girl was, she told him she wanted to leave with him.

Robey returned to his father's side and comforted him as he died.

Robey set out to kill the two men who were looting all the dead bodies and killing the dying to loot them. He killed one of the men, and it wasn't clear whether he killed the other, but it seems like he did.

Robey was awoken by someone throwing pebbles at him and he recognized her. She was the girl he saw when he was hiding on the roof. she confronted him on why he didn't stop the man from doing those horrible things to her.

Robey found a pregnant woman that was burying graves for all the bodies and so he decided to help. She gave him water and food for helping her

Robey's father was still alive but was badly injured. Robey went to get him food, water, and bandages

Robey found the field on which his father was fighting. He saw thousands of men, mangled and dead, some still clinging on to life. At the end of the road, he found his father. He was shot in the face and about to die.

As the gunshots and cannon fire continued, Robey witnessed everyone dying around him. The scene was very detailed and gory.

The major left in a rush and Robey thought it would be the perfect time to sneak out and get his horse back. As he snuck out, war broke out and he was in the midst of it all.

The major told Robey that he had seen his horse and that he could take it back and go.

Robey is still searching for his horse and two bluecoats catch him and think he's a confederate spy. They take him to their major.

Robey stayed hidden in the attic and waited for an opportunity to sneak away and escape.

Robey found an abandoned house and set camp inside to rest for the night. A group of people came by, so he hid on the roof. They were doing the same as him and using the abandoned house for shelter.

The man gave Robey food and offered whiskey, but Robey would not take any. The man drank it all himself and got very drunk. He shot Robey in the head and stole the coal-black horse. Robey survived, as the bullet only grazed his scalp and he set off to find the horse.

Robey came across a river with a man by it, but the river started to flood and Robey got caught in it. He eventually got out and the man asked if he wanted some food.

Robey rested with his horse by a river, as he had not gotten much sleep the whole journey. He continued on.
