219 pages. With trap and goldpan - here are pages out of pioneer living, a true, human interest story of Depression years in the woods.

The simply told account of a man and a woman and two small children who took their living day by day from Nature in the storied Cariboo country. Usual library markings. Well-worn. Binding intact.
