A party of boys heads into the woods and lakes of northern Maine with their companion Cyrus, under the shadow of Mount Katahdin. They jack for deer at night, spill out of canoes, live in a bark hut and hunt coons and black ducks, while the author’s purpose is to show that a camping trip can be thrilling without making the forest a shambles.
