Now back in print: the definitive book about a lost way of life in Nova Scotia, written by a beloved nature writer, covering all 18 counties and including descriptions of over 50 cabins. Author, columnist, and editor Bud Inglis continues to record his observations of nature and the wilderness setting both on the drawing board and in his writings. His wide experience in woods travel and his ability to illustrate ideally places him in a position to record in picture and text a way of life in Nova Scotia which is gradually fading into memory—life as shown in Backwoods Cabins of Nova Scotia . He felt such a book had to be written before the settings and the people involved with them become forgotten. Inglis's weekly column, Backwoods Basics, ran in both the Halifax Chronicle-Herald and the Mail-Star from 1982 to 1986.
