Book Overview
Six miles below the headwaters of Dean Channel on the BC coast, the Dean River flows graciously into salt water. Known for centuries as Kimsquit, this is a place of outstanding river, sea and mountain beauty. This is where James Sirois spent his childhood and teenage years alternately between Doc Gildersleeve's logging camp and school in Ocean Falls. The adventures and misadventures living on the rafts of a gypo logger in the coastal canyons of BC in the thirties, forties and fifties. Raised under the influence of his grandparents and long-time logging camp employees, Jim's time on the floating logging camp was always interesting and educational.
