About This Book
A vivid and faithful chronicle of life in the great Northern Forest and
a storehouse of valuable information on woodcraft and nature. Over half
a century ago, John Rowlands set out by canoe into the wilds of Maine to
survey land for a timber company. After paddling alone for several
days--"it was so quiet I could hear the drops from the paddle hitting
the water"--he came upon "the lake of my boyhood dreams." He never left.
He named the place Cache Lake because there was stored the best that the
north had to offer--timber for a cabin; fish, game and berries to live
on; and the peace and contentment he felt he could not live without.
Cache Lake Country exemplifies the classic American notion that what is
most worth finding lies far from the tracks of civilization, and that
what is most worth doing demands resourcefulness and wit. Here is
folklore and philosophy, but most of all wisdom about the woods and the
inventiveness and self-reliance they demand. The author explains how to
make moccasins, barrel stoves, lean-to shelters, outdoor bake ovens,
sailing canoes, and hundreds of other ingenious and useful gadgets, all
illustrated in the margins with 230 enchanting drawings by Henry B.
Kane.
