On May 4, 1919, Charlie Cook set off for a year of adventure in the MinnesotaOntario Boundary Waters. Soon abandoned by his comfortloving companion, the restless World War I veteran spent an enlightening year learningoften the hard wayhow to paddle and sail on windy lakes, hunt and fish for food, bake rough delicacies in a reflector oven, and build winterproof shelters. His howto descriptions of trapping beaver, mink, and other game are unsurpassed in their detail.Cook also found his way into the border community of Ojibwe and mixedblood families and a motley assortment of mysterious travelers, game wardens, and loners, including trapper Bill Berglund (who adopted Cook until the tenderfoots eagerness to harvest pelts came between them).Cooks adventure climaxed in a 700mile expedition by dogsled north into Canada, where he reached the limits of his enduranceand just barely lived to tell the tale.For anyone who loves the Boundary Waters or wonders what this rugged region was like not so long ago, Cooks story reveals a world still ruled by nature but on the brink of change.
