Wintering

About this book

Pierre the 14-year-old hero of The Broken Blade spends a winter with the North West Company in the wilderness of French Canada. The canoe-men build a camp beside an Ojibwa village and Pierre learns the deep-winter survival skills and secrets of the fur traders and trappers. Surviving in close quarters with the repulsive bowman Beloit is a challenge but friendship with an Ojibwa brave opens up a rich new world to Pierre. From the Trade Paperback edition.
