Sam Cook's writing has brought readers home to the north country for almost two decades. Gather around Friendship Fires and cover new ground with visits to the region's vast prairies, towering forests and shimmering water retreats. Friendship Fires lives up to its name by sparking the memories shared by anyone who's dusted off a canoe at the first break of ice in spring or savored autumn's fading sun in late November. Sam's stories, both touching and hilarious, offer a new perspective on how the outdoors rekindles the wilderness spirit when we build our own friendship fires.
My husband loves the outdoors as our children did while growing up. Our son still enjoys being outdoors - camping, fishing, hunting. This is a great book for people who enjoy these activities. Sam Cook is an excellent writer.
Outstanding book by Cook
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I took Friendship Fires with me on a recent camping trip to read around the fire.. I am a big fan of Mr. Cook, having read many of his columns in the Duluth News Tribune. This book is a collection of his columns over a number of years. The book is composed of many short "stories" that are put together into the book in a logical fashion. The content of the book is outstanding, and will make you laugh, and will also make you stop sometimes and just contemplate the story. The book makes a great gift for anyone who enjoys the outdoors.
