Frank Holley shares his memories of his time in the Matachewan area with the prospectors, trappers, and traders from late 1920s to the 1950s, when the area was scouted for mineral wealth, and people living in the bush lived off the land, a 'long' way from settled parts. With the re-opening of the Young-Davidson mine, other mineral deposits Frank mentions may be of interest, as well as his warm stories about the people who shared his time in this Northern Ontario bush.

Additional maps, additional text and a preface from Frank Holley for this edition make this an excellent collection to capture the history of the people and the places near and north of Matachewan.

Easily read, and warmly-told stories of his personal experiences with the unique collection of prospector, fur-trappers, and denizens of the Matachewan area through the 1940s and 1950s. The areas of mineral occurences he catalogues here seems almost prophetic now in light of the re-opening of the Young-Davidson mine he discusses.
