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.
