In my opinion Gilbert is glorifying Eustace's lifestyle and attitude towards nature. It is obvious that Gilbert becomes enthralled and amazed at the way he lives his life and she is determined to pass on his lessons through her writing. I'm not exactly sure whether she seems them feasible for the entire nation, knowing that realistically not all people are willing to make such a big step backwards, but it is undeniable that she wants to please Eustace or maybe rather assist him in achieving his life goals, despite the fact that she is knowledgeable of the fact they might not be realistic. There is a long passage in chapter five that describes multiple "Men of Destiny" and how Conway some way simulates or is like these admirable men. By including this I feel like her intentions are to humble and slow down her readers, maybe not insist that they change, but enlighten them that people like Davey Crockett and Daniel Boone still exists and there is more to life and the world than living in a mass production fast paced social climate. I think through her relationship with Eustace she has gained a better sense of her world and a larger appreciation for nature, and by writing this book and titling Conway as "The Last American Man" she is both educating her readers, but also leaving them with contemplation over the idea of their current lifestyle or Eustace's and which is really better.
