As they learn their trades, the reader is treated to an amazingly detailed view of the camps varied operations falling and bucking timber by hand, topping and rigging of spar trees, moving steam donkeys and making up log booms, plus all the colourful characters, camaraderie, romance and life-threatening exploits of a BC adventure story.
