From the loggers’ bunkhouses to the trappers’ cabins, from the saloons to the Hudson’s Bay outposts, the legend of Paul Bunyan was perpetuated in the years following his entry into the north woods in 1837.His son Pauly, little known to his friends, was destined to follow the exploits of his bull-of-the woods father in the care of the “Swamp Angel.” This old recluse served as mentor to young Bunyan as his father was forced to “farm him out” in his last days of life.In THE SWAMP ANGEL, the old man and the youngster encounter adventures far beyond their expectations. In the process, Pauly becomes well-schooled in woods lore and survival methods.Later in THE SACRED MOONSTONE, Pauly, now fifteen years old, strikes out on his own in search of the great strength his father had. His travels take him through several Indian nations, but it is the sacred moonstone given to him by the Swamp Angel which is the key to receiving the gift of strength from the great holy man himself, the Menabozho.Now, in the latest book, THE LOST TRIBE, Pauly decides to return to his first love, the woods, to become a famous logger. His only connection is Horsecollar Camp where he lived for some time during the previous winter, and it is at the mouth of the river leading to the camp that the Mohegans leave him...now on the way to his next adventure.There are 16 digitally colored illustrations not available in the original hard copy series. The book is a great gift for "tweens" and all young readers who are interested in the great outdoors, logging history, Native American Indian lore, and unique adventures.
