Cache Lake Country: Or, Life in the North Woods
The classic chronicle of life and self-reliance in the great Northern Forest, reissued for its many fans “Cache Lake Country is a gem for many reasons—a simple narrative, the ways in which it conveys the work-a-day joys and exertions of life in the wilderness, the woodscraft techniques it illustrates, and the slow and pleasurable way in which the soul of a serene man is revealed.” —The New York Times Over half a century ago, John Rowlands set out by canoe into the wilds of Canada to survey land for a timber company. After paddling alone for several days, he came upon "the lake of my boyhood dreams," which he named Cache Lake because there was stored the best that the north had to offer?timber for a cabin; fish, game, and berries to live on; and the peace and contentment he felt he could not live without. This is his story, containing both folklore and philosophy, with wisdom about the woods and the demand therein for inventiveness. It includes directions for making moccasins, stoves, shelters, outdoor ovens, canoes, and hundreds of other ingenious and useful gadgets.

Hayling Island
Although small, Hayling Island has a rich and diverse history, with industries such as salt production, brick making and oyster fishing sustaining its population through the ages. In this book, an interesting text detailing a brief history of Hayling Island by an unknown author has been transcribed and edited to accompany a collection of photographs, etchings and sketches dating from 1820 to 1967. The original images were kindly loaned by residents of the island in the 1960s to copy in order to make a photographic record of the Island. The only complete set still in existence appears to be that owned by the author of this book. This publication now makes the collection available for all to enjoy.
