Description
In Crazy Man's Creek, author Jack Boudreau tells of the characters who have "caught the fever" in the rugged McGregor Mountain Range east of Prince George. Long recognized as some of the toughest bush in British Columbia, it was home to many who chose to lose themselves. Once there, life included confrontations with grizzly bears and raids by wolves. But if men were to snap, it was the long cold winters and the deafening silence that did them in.
Contributor Notes
Jack Boudreau devoted his professional life to British Columbia’s forest industry working as a licensed scaler, industrial first-aid attendant and forest fire fighter mostly with the Ministry of Forests. Jack was an avid lover of the outdoors and shared his perspective as a mountain climber, fisherman and naturalist in his nine BC bestsellers–Whitewater Devils; Trappers and Trailblazers; Sternwheelers and Canyon Cats, Crazy Man’s Creek, Grizzly Bear Mountain, Wilderness Dreams; Mountains, Campfires and Memories, Wild & Free and, most recently, King of the Mountain. Jack passed away in 2018.
