This is the story of Frank Kuiack, one of the last men to earn a living as a fishing guide in Algonquin Park, Ontario. It is an unusual and remarkable book, part journalism, part a novelistic recreation of the man's life growing up as one of 16 children in the Algonquin highlands of the '30's and '40's, and his working life thereafter. The writing is tone-perfect and the story is a page-turner. This is not a sentimental lament for bygone days but a clear-eyed, honest story about a man who made his share of mistakes in life, while history happened around him.
