"Camp Sights welcomes you to the intimate beauty of camps-quiet camps for fathers and daughters, familiar camps on a favorite lake with good friends, hunting camps with their rich histories and traditions, serene camps under the starry sky of a summer night, peaceful camps warmed by supper cooking on the stove. You'll experience the challenges and adventures of life in the North Woods-a chance encounter with Arctic wolves on Canada's Ellesmere Island, a night on the Gods River on a canoe trip to Hudson Bay, a whiteout storm in the barren lands of the Northwest Territories. But you'll also learn of the everyday pleasures of the outdoors-stories of steelhead fishing, deer and duck hunting, and unforgettable characters like canoe builder Joe Seliga, legendary trout fisherman Benny Larson, and Ely's "Jackpine" Bob Cary"--P. [4] of cover.
