Two roads appeared ahead and Young Bob chose the northern path.
Over the next fify-some years, winter and summer, he would live in tents and walk and work in the Canadian Wilderness in Manitoba, Ontario, the Northwest Territories and Quebec, with a stint in the Smoky Mountains thrown into the mix.
This is much more than the story of one man's life: it is a collection of tales, some true, others embellished a bit, of what it was like to work in the mineral exploration industry at a time when dog sleds were being replaced by the snow machine, and footprints on the ground were giving way to airborne methods.
It is the stories of men who became legends, recounted by a man who became a legend in his own right, told in the style of the evening common-room chat, or of tales 'round the noon tea-fire.
You will be entertained.
