Chapter Three focuses on Willcock’s time working in Swanberg’s cook house, Greasy Erickson, getting “Up the hill”, becoming a “Whistle punk”, the risks of logging, and the Schnarr girl’s pet cougars.
Kathryn Willcock was born in Vancouver and spent her early years in logging camps on the coast of B.C., particularly Bute Inlet where she and her sisters spent their days playing on the banks of the Orford River, an area considered one of the world’s best locations for viewing grizzly bear.
