Description
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.
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.
