Snowshoe and Lancet: Memoirs of a Frontier Newfoundland Doctor 1 review
Robert Skidmore Ecke
Peter E. Randall Publisher, 2000
Newfoundland Outport Tales from a US Doctor
Dr. Ecke's accounts are told with a bit of sterility, but he certainly enjoys his time in Newfoundland. It was a time when medical cures were limited, and the rural diet was a "made do" affair, but the people's spirit is contrasted against the stark landscape. Recommended read, especially for those familiar with the area or with ties to Notre Dame Bay, NF

Building Snowshoes and Snowshoe Furniture 2 reviews
Gil Gilpatrick
G. Gilpatrick, 2001
Exactly what I was looking for...
Great detailed information on a nearly dead art form, making snowshoes. The sections on snowshoe furniture are terrific, tons of example and ideas. Detailed, concise information on the best wood, drawing and plans for the molds and information on "How To" do instead of just pictures of completed product. The most complete resource I've found anywhere!

Evelyn Berglund Shore
Houghton Mifflin, 1954
Inspirational! Awsome!
This author signed copy has been in my library unread for around 8 years. I regret to say I dont remember Evelyn B. Shore because if I could talk to her now there is so much i would like to say. The book starts out with her and her 4 sibling and their parents trapping in the remote areas of the Alaska during fall and winter seasons for a decade. She grows up knowing nothing but survival and ...

Shut Up and Eat Your Snowshoes7 reviews
Jack douglas
Pocket, 1972
The douglas family gets REALLY away from it all.
This book is hilarious. The Douglas family moves far into Canada for some privacy, much to the dismay of wife Reiko, who likes to grocery every day rather than every six months. I can still envision the two seater airplanes delivering theDouglas furniture strapped to their wings. This book and its companion piece, THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY HASHIMOTO are both wonderfully entertaining. ...

Snowshoe Routes: Oregon (Snowshoe Routes)3 reviews
Shea Andersen
Mountaineers Books, 2001
Jumpin jiminies I'm up to my armpits again
Being an expert sledder, I always scoffed at snowshoers as those hippy-skippys who couldn't afford a snowmobile. Until one fateful day, while waiting for the dentist to remove my first and last wisdom tooth, I browsed through this book by Andersen and became immediately enchanted. Not one to judge a book by its cover, I tried out three different routes as outlined by Andersen and found that he ...

Snowshoe Thompson (I Can Read Book 3)1 review
Nancy Smiler Levinson
HarperTrophy, 1996
Interesting and enjoyable for the whole family
Snowshoe Thompson is a wonderful book about an immigrant who has helped a young boy communicate with his father. This book has kept the interest of our 1/2 year old and 3 year old during our night time story reading ritual. Having read it at least 100 times, I am still delighted to read it to our boys.
