Cache Lake Country
by John J Rowlands. I'm about 2/3's through and it has great woods craft information (albeit some not nearly LNT), and observations while living alone in sub-Hudsons Bay Canada. Circa 1930's ??? but was published in 1947 I think. Some Cree (?) legends & lore (including Loup Garou), fishing , hunting,
canoeing.Comment

Are we talking about Hunting/Fishing Books?
It's neither, but I just finished "Pardon Me, Sir ...There's a Moose In Your Tent" by Larry Weill.
I think I liked "Excuse Me, Sir ... Your Socks Are On Fire" much more though.

I just finished the biography of Carl Sagan and the autobiography of General Tommy Franks (what a maroon!). I'm now working on the book Founding Myths, about the falacies of the Revolutionary War stories that we have accepted as our cultural history. I heard about "The World without Us" and it's on my list.Comment
