119 pages. "Once in a while a book is published about the Pacific Northwest's past that is so remarkable for its insights and honest portrayal of events that it deserves special attention. This book by Bus Griffiths (an author whose own life story is no less fascinating than the subject of which he writes), is such a book.... A picture story, a historical fiction in comic book form recalling life in the B.C. woods as it happened a generation ago. Probing deeper, the reader soon realizes he/she is seeing a fully comprehensive account of day-to-day logging operations as would have occured in hundreds of camps located along the coast of British Columbia .... Logging has had a sociology of its own and for the careful reader it is fairly revealed in this book." - Daniel T. Gallacher, Curator of Modern History, Provincial Museum of British Columbia.
