Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Cook had been in the Army Air Service in World War I and was a restless young man after the war. In the foreword to this book, the author's son, Harry B. Cook, describes how his 27-year-old father and a friend set out in 1919 for a year's journey into the woods of the Minnesota-Ontario border country. They fished, hunted, and trapped and traveled by canoe and dog sled. In the 1950s, after a varied career as a logger, owner of a grocery-store chain and a dairy bar, and worker in the Office of Price Administration in World War II, Cook took a course in writing and typed up an account of his adventure in the wilderness but failed to find a publisher. Decades later, his son has finally taken the edited manuscript to publication. An interesting yarn that tells of Cook's adventures and the people he met, this will be of interest to local history collections in public and academic libraries.DGeorge M.

This man is no tenderfoot
3. September 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
The great American writer Hemingway wrote about the "lost generation" the fellows who came back from WWI and wanted more than the nine to five grind. Enter Charles Ira Cook who headed north to Minnesota to get the wilds out of his system on the advice of his father. Charles goes up with a friend who soon enough pines for the city life and goes back. Picking up a local man for a new partner Charles is off again in a highly descriptive book that reads fast and is so enjoyable. I loved the part when Charles and his partner Bill listen in the dark as a weasel chases a mouse around the cabin rafters. The story also shows what to look out for when a weasel doesn't have anymore mice to chase. Charles plunges into these woods with an open heart and his deep love of them. The locals are sometimes over taken by his lust for life as he traps,fishes and describes everything he see's - like a pet beaver that can sit at the supper table and drink from a cup. I only wish he would have wandered futher east into Canada and bumped into Jim Vanderbeck the real life person in Stephen W Meader's book Trap Lines North one I read every year. This is a book I will read again and it comes with a fold out map in the back. If you're after a good read and an adventure this is for you.
Trapping the Boundary Waters

Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I enjoyed this book very much. As someone that enjoys canoeing, I've long wanted to go explore the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. As a trapper, this is a story of the kind of life I can only dream about.
