Up The Coast

One Family's Wild Life in the Forests of British Columbia

by Kathryn Willcock

tagged: personal memoirs, women, cultural heritage
Description

Kathryn Willcock and her sisters grew up in logging camps on the coast of B.C. in the 1960s when children were set loose to play in the wilderness, women kept rifles next to the wood stove, and loggers risked their lives every single day. The author’s tales of grizzly bears, American tourists, and a couple of terrified gangsters, along with the wisdom of Indigenous elders, pour off the page like warm syrup on a stack of cookhouse hotcakes.

About the Author

Kathryn Willcock was born in Vancouver and spent her early years in float camps on the coast of B.C., particularly Bute Inlet where she and her sisters spent their days playing on the banks of the Orford River, an area considered one of the world''s best locations for viewing grizzly bear.
