About This Item
US: University Of Minnesota Pres, 1996. Paperback. Good. The Boundary Waters region of Minnesota and Ontario is a vast wilderness of quiet beauty, visited and loved by many, but home to only a rugged few. In 1928, Justine Kerfoot arrived, a Northwestern University graduate headed f or medical school until her family lost both their Illinois homes in the st ock market crash. Thrust into year-round life at her mother's fledgling sum mer resort, Justine was confronted with learning survival in the frigid nor th woods, a challenge she met with extraordinary verve and recounts with gr eat candor and humor in this remarkable book. Kerfoot has paddled all the l akes and streams in this border country, and she knows them well. Her lyric al descriptions of wildlife and seasonal environments express the deep reve rence for nature that has become her way of life. In a new afterword, she r eflects on the impact of restricted wilderness status on the region - calle d the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness since 1978 - and on her own con victions about people living in the wild.
