Book Overview
Up North is a certain way the wind feels on your face and the way and old wool shirt feels on your back. It's the peace that comes over you when you sit down to read one of your old trip journals, or the anticipation that bubbles inside when you start sorting through your tackle box early in the spring. In this unforgettable collection of essays, Sam Cook portrays the enchanting North Country as a state of mind as much as a geographical area. Up North captures the mystic moods, seasonal subtleties, and colorful characters that fill the region from the Minnesota canoe country to the vast expanse of the Northwest Territories. Organized by time of year, Up North describes every season's pleasures -- sled dog racing in winter, hooking a northern pike on the first spring fishing trip, building a summer campfire, watching the aurora borealis in fall. Up North is an invitation to explore canoe country through Sam Cook's eyes and your own. Book jacket.

Up North

I purchased this book for my husband who has been fishing "up north" for over 60 years. He truly enjoyed the book and has passed it on to our son, an avid outdoorsman. Sam Cook is an excellent writer.

This is one of the best books I've read in a long time about going up north. Fish,hunting,camping, and meeting other people are the best settings in the book. The book makes you feel like your up in the wilderness hunting or on the lake fishing.
Great to bring on trips and read the stories.

It's just a really good book about life in general and especially the way we feel about being Up North.
