End of Last American Man

If you take the definition of the American Man literally, which states a man that forges his own life through the wilderness, Eustace is one of a dying breed of man. As stated in the epilogue, there are some men that live isolated in the wilderness, but Eustace is the only one that makes himself publicly available. Are those men the only left of the nearly extinct American man? what about those who survive the concrete jungle? They face dangers like those in nature, such as competition for resources. They have to teach themselves how to survive, and when you live in this type of environment you teach yourself all about the nuances of the biome. Eustace can point out the difference between a rare Turk's Cap and a tiger lily. An inner-city kid can point out he difference in two very similar alleys and whether one is safe or not or what time an area becomes dangerous. It all depends on how you look at the situation, like how Obi-Wan Kenobi looks at the story of Darth Vader, on whether American Men exist anymore.
