The stories in this book are all true. Most began with a dream and conscientious study of maps and logistics. Others are true adventures. The majority of accounts are anecdotes taken from Cliff Jacobson's experiences as a professional guide in Minnesota and Canada. A few stories are based on accounts from close friends whose testimony he trusts. There's a mixture of humor, joy, sadness, tragedy and testable morality -- plus the essence of "wildness and fulfillment of dreams."
Feel your heart beat as a grizzly breathes down upon you. Understand the excitement of running a raging northern Canadian river. Experience the cool autumn breeze of Minnesota's Boundary Waters. Sense the loneliness of a young man's rural existence as he longs for a suitor. Engage a 20,000 strong herd of caribou as it thunders before you.
