SHANTYMEN OF CACHE LAKE, is the story of 14-year-old John Bains and his sister Meg, 13, and the winter they spend working in a lumber camp in the Ottawa Valley.
Set against the rough and exciting background of a 19th century lumber camp, Shantymen of Cache Lake is a classic account of two indomitable young people and their gutsy adaptation to hard times. The book is illustrated with photos chronicling Canada's once huge and exciting timber trade.
