Holy Old Whistlin' Yarns About Algonquin Park Loggers

Tall trees and tall tales-that`s life in the bush, and Brent Connelly wouldn`t have it any other way. A forester for nearly forty years, Brent was never happier than when in the company of loggers and truck drivers, timber cruisers and cookees--especially when the "office" was his beloved Algonquin Park. And after a long, hard day nurturing and harvesting the forest, what better way to spend the evening than back at the bunkhouse with a mug of tea, a piece of raisin pie, and a session of storytelling. Jack McRae, Duncan MacGregor, Johnnie Shaw, Walter Dombroski, Joe Bird, and Ray Townsend are just some of the "rogues and rascals" whom Brent Connelly has gathered around the stove to share a laugh and shed a tear. Because, by the "holy old whistlin`," there hasn`t been a good day in the lumber business "not since Noah went on a shopping spree to build himself an ark."
