The tantalizing story of a young couple's "trial year" in the wilderness in British Columbia. Right after they were married, Bradford Angier and his wife, both of them city bred, turned their backs on the civilities--and anxieties--of life in Boston and set off the the Canadian Wilds. This book vividly captures the feeling and flavor of their day-to-day life during each of the four seasons of a year. It also provides a basic "survival kit" for coping with life in the wilderness--the practical matters of shelter and food and warmth.
