A tale about what Minnesota was really like back in the time of the lumberjacks and what it took for a family to survive. There were good times, hard times and sometimes a laugh or two made their lives a bit easier. Wil Morgan did whatever it took to put food on the table and keep a roof over their head.

The Cook Shack
Here at "The River Calls" we like to show you what the life of the lumberjack was like. Those were tough times for anyone and many came to work just to have some food to eat and a warm place to lay their head at night. The camp foreman watched for the slackers and ran them off in a hurry.
Payday was always on Friday evening after dinner. Many of the men headed for town to drink a bit of fire water and play some poker. Most came back the next day broke and hung over, but that was the life they chose.
You can find the EBook Kindle edition of this book at Amazon.com and at www.peaceriverbooks.com.
Glad you stopped into "therivercalls" blog. We'll try to put something new here each day.
Good Reading,
Ron
