More About Three Against the Wilderness: A Gripping Memoir of a Pioneering Family in the Chilcotin
Here in the wilderness one could, if he were that way inclined, spend countless hours worrying over all that might go amiss. But if you were so inclined you had no business living out in the wilderness in the first place.

I love this book.Well-written, interesting, BC history and geography... and their cabin is now a historic site, so maybe one day I will get to visit it.Will read again. Exactly the kind of wilderness adventure story I'd like. I used to think I wanted to live this way but I really don't think I could handle it now. Much to used to the modern conveniences. This is a wonderful book. The author and his wife raised their young son literally in the wilderness, having many hair-raising and life-threatening adventures along the way. Their experiences give new meaning to the word "self-reliance." I'm so fortunate to have a battered old paperback signed by the author's wife Lillian Collier.
