Up North

I purchased this book for my husband who has been fishing "up north" for over 60 years. He truly enjoyed the book and has passed it on to our son, an avid outdoorsman. Sam Cook is an excellent writer.

Up North By Sam Cook

This is one of the best books I've read in a long time about going up north. Fish,hunting,camping, and meeting other people are the best settings in the book. The book makes you feel like your up in the wilderness hunting or on the lake fishing.

Great to bring on trips and read the stories.

It's just a really good book about life in general and especially the way we feel about being Up North.
