This is a collection of but a few of the thousands of short stories and columns written by an old timer who's had a lifetime of out of doors experiences. The writing is direct and often humorous, expressed in a manner that is not encumbered by a complicated writing style. It is about adventures of boyhood into manhood. In simple terms, it is a collection of stories that provide a brief glimpse into the down-to-earth adventures during one man's years in Michigan's outdoor world. It is a look into a lifestyle that is basically much the same for many people today as it was during those yesteryears. It is truly a "Once Upon the Woods & Waters" adventure.
