About This Book

A group of young women, accompanied by Tom Gray, ventures into the Big Woods and engages a blunt, resourceful forest woman as guide, who lives with pack mules and a pet bear and nurses a grudge against lumberjacks. Their expedition blends outdoor instruction with repeated hazards: a skittish bronco, a brave bull pup that rescues companions, a watchful bear, roistering lumberjacks who menace the party, sabotaged equipment, and a mysterious calamity that destroys camp. Through rescues, small combats, improvised repairs and camping lessons they learn woodcraft, cooperation, and how to manage supplies and travel safely in timber country.
