Description
In this collection of twenty essays, Sigurd Olson brings briskly to life the primitive and lovely land of deep icy lakes, unmapped streams, and the thick forests of the Quetico-Superior country of northern Minnesota and of Ontario - a "labyrinth of waterways, rugged canyons, and boulder-strewn valleys," the haunt of moose and deer, ospreys and eagles, great gray timber wolves, mink, otter, and beaver. Part frontiersman, part poet and philosopher, and one of our most ardent conservationists, show more Olson spent a lifetime hunting, fishing, and canoing through the north country's "singing wilderness," from Minnesota to the Yukon. Celebrating the "complete naturalness of living out of doors," these simple, eloquent essays are infused with his spirit of adventure and almost mystical sense of well-being in the presence of unspoiled nature. -- Cover. show lessTags
