Jack Boudreau is back with another wild and woolly, scarcely believable but nevertheless true tale of misadventure in British Columbia's northern wilderness. Wild and Free, which Boudreau says is his best book yet, tells the stories of two of Canada's most legendary mountain men -- Skook Davidson (who actually has a mountain named after him) and Frank Cooke. In Wild and Free the fun rolls on for 240 pages as author Boudreau falls in with Davidson's long-time protege, Frank Cooke, (now 77) and together they reconstruct the old buzzard's memorable life.

Jack Boudreau devoted his professional life to British Columbia's forest industry, working as a licensed scaler, industrial first-aid attendant and forest fire fighter mostly with the Ministry of Forests. Jack has always been an avid lover of the outdoors and shares his perspective as mountain climber, fisherman and naturalist in "King of the Mountain" and his previous eight BC bestsellers: "Whitewater Devils", "Trappers & Trailblazers", "Sternwheelers & Canyon Cats", "Crazy Man's Creek", "Grizzly Bear Mountain", "Wilderness Dreams", "Mountains, Campfires & Memories" and "Wild & Free". Jack now lives in High River, Alberta, where he spends his time writing.
