A first-person narrative of extended expeditions into the northern woods recounts the routines and risks of two-man camps, portable equipment and food, and travel by canoe, toboggan, and dog train while surveying and selecting government timber tracts. It blends practical descriptions of logging methods, land acquisition, and timber valuation with episodic scenes of storms, forest fires, wildlife, and interactions with Indigenous people. The author also reflects on changing industry forces, the future of white pine supply, and personal memories of frontier labor and landscape.
