Over half a century ago, John Rowlands set out by canoe into the wilds of Canada to survey land for a timber company. After paddling on my own for several days―”it used to be so quiet I could hear the drops from the paddle hitting the water”―he discovered “the lake of my boyhood dreams.” He never left. He named the place Cache Lake because there used to be stored the most efficient that the north had to supply―timber for a cabin; fish, game, and berries to live to tell the tale; and the peace and contentment he felt he could not live without.

Cache Lake Country is a vivid and faithful chronicle of life within the great Northern Forest and a storehouse of valuable information on woodcraft and nature. Here is folklore and philosophy, but most of all wisdom about the woods and the inventiveness and self-reliance they demand. The writer explains the right way to make moccasins, barrel stoves, lean-to shelters, Out of doors bake ovens, sailing canoes, and hundreds of other ingenious and useful gadgets, all illustrated within the margins with 230 enchanting drawings by Henry B. Kane.
