To Make Ourselves A Home

Description

A remarkable collection of stories, passed from father to son, then from grandfather to grandchildren, recounting the adventures of a family at the turn of the 20th century as they ventured into the Canadian bush country of northern Ontario. It is a fascinating look at the period and how the family lived among natives, fended off wild animals, used the rivers like highways, and carved a life. Within the pages are many wonderful period photographs and contemporary illustrations.
