About the author

Sigurd F. Olson was an American author, environmentalist, and advocate for the protection of wilderness. For more than thirty years, he served as a wilderness guide in the lakes and forests of the Quetico-Superior country of northern Minnesota and northeastern Ontario. He was known honorifically as the Bourgeois — a term the voyageurs of old used of their trusted leaders.

Reviews

[Jay]

Another great collection of the early writings of one of nature and wilderness's greatest advocates. Great editing and lead in pieces to establish the background and setting for each of the writings included.

This was surely my least favorite book re Sigurd Olson. Very early writings and none of the philosophical stuff I have come to adore in Sigurd Olson..
