Pierre, a teenage voyageur for the North West Company is on his second trip through the boundary waters. For this trip he will winter over and help construct a trading post on Lake Vermilion. He learns about life in the wilderness from his fellow canoe-men and the Ojibwe people he comes to respect.Recommendation: Though not as good as William Durbin's first book, The Broken Blade, this is a nice read. If you enjoy the history of travelers and traders of the early American and Canadian wilderness, this book would interest you.
