Mountains, Campfires & Memories

by Jack Boudreau

Champion of the backwoods, Jack Boudreau entertains with more stories from the wilds of British Columbia. Concentrating on the post-Second World War years, Jack tells us of how men survived, flourished and perished in the northern bush.

In this—his third best-seller—Jack tells us of adventures gone awry, bizarre encounters with creatures of the woods, and the results of friendships gone sour. When men went missing, or furs were stolen, it was often up to the local police officer or game warden to don his hunting gear to track down the hunter or the hunted. "All in a day's work," was their motto.

[Steve Horton · Rating 4 out of 5]

The author grew up in north-eastern British Columbia and has a healthy respect for those who explored this vast area. He has gathered stories of these explorers, fur traders and the involvement of the RCMP and court system to ensure justice prevailed in even the remote areas.
He gathered news stories of that time of pre-WW2 and tells us the rest of the story. The amazing adventures and survival in this tough, beautiful part of the world are inspiring and painful. I live in this area and appreciate the survival in the coldest and snow covered area.
