Sinopsis

Up North is a certain way the wind feels on your face and the way an old wool shirt feels on your back. It's the peace that comes over you when you sit down to read one of your old trip journals, or the anticipation that bubbles inside when you start sorting through your tackle box early in the spring. In this unforgettable collection of essays, Sam Cook portrays the enchanting North Country as a state of mind as much as a geographical area. Up North captures the mystic moods, seasonal subtleties, and colorful characters that fill the region from the Minnesota canoe country to the vast expanse of the Northwest Territories. Organized by time of year, Up North describes every season's pleasures--sled dog racing in winter, hooking a northern pike on the first spring fishing trip, building a summer campfire, watching the aurora borealis in fall. Up North is an invitation to explore canoe country through Sam Cook's eyes and your own. "My favorite book for thedreamers or for any outdoor person who enjoys a good story... Sam Cook is a master at weaving a tale."

Biografía del autor

Written and researched by Sam Cook and Greg Ward.

"Jackpine Bob" Cary had never flown a floatplane himself, but knew and had flown with many of North America's most noted bush pilots and had been on a number of wild rides. During the eight years when he owned Canadian Border Outfitters, he worked with Pat Magie's Wilderness Wings to fly many of his clients into the roadless expanse of northern Minnesota and Canada. Bob lived in Ely, Minnesota with his wife Edith for about 40 years and witnessed the heyday of bush pilots in northern Minnesota.
