About this book

A lunch break in the northern woods turns into a quiet meeting with Canada jays, bold enough to take food from Henry Abbott's hand. From this small encounter, his first-person account opens onto the wider business of camping and hunting around Crescent Mountain. Abbott and his companion Bige stay at the Dan'l Boone Camp, divide their hunting routes, and move through valleys, brooks, and autumn woods. A deer searching fallen leaves for beech nuts gives the observer another reason to pause.

The same attention to detail shapes an episode about cutting a new trail. Familiar landmarks become confusing, an axe seems to appear in the wrong place, and Abbott sketches the terrain on birch bark to understand his route. Practical woodland knowledge sits beside gentle humor about human mistakes.
