The Blazed Trail
Stewart Edward White
Book Overview:
Stewart Edward White wrote fiction and non-fiction about adventure and travel, with an emphasis on natural history and outdoor living. White's books were popular at a time when America was losing its vanishing wilderness and many are based on his experiences in mining and lumber camps.

The Blazed Trail, by Stewart Edward White, first published in 1902, is the story of Harry Thorpe, an impoverished rich kid who becomes a lumberjack and rises to be the head of his own firm.
