I think you are correct. This reads very much like his style of writing. I love his writing and he also takes gorgeous photos. I began reading his essays back when he was still living in Alaska.
To any DUers who aren't familiar with his writing, I can highly recommend him.
Jim Wright also has a website, called Stonekettle Station, where his longer essays are archived. He can be found on a podcast, with David Gerrold ( a sci-fi writer, who also wrote for Star Trek). The podcast is broadcasted on the last Sunday of the month. The host is B Cubed press.
Please credit Jim when quoting him. He's a retired veteran and his writing is one way that he generates income. He also has an Etsy store where he sells prints of his photos, calendars, and beautiful hand made pens that he crafts from wood.
