About This Book

Two young friends spend a season in the Maine woods under the care of an experienced woodsman, learning camping, tracking, hunting, and winter survival. The narrative unfolds as a series of episodic outings and dangers — bird and big-game encounters, ice fishing, a bear confrontation, a lost-and-found episode, visits to beaver lodges, trouble with a lynx and wild dogs, a forest fire, trap-line work, a trip to a lumber camp, a daring rescue, and the turn of seasons — framed throughout as practical lessons in self-reliance and outdoor skill.
