This is the story of Olga (Horn) Boudreau, wife, mother, grandmother, and adventurer. In 1950, rebellious and longing to live life on her own terms, Olga left a comfortable lifestyle in Kelowna and struck out for the backwoods of northern British Columbia. After securing her teacher certificate, she landed a teaching job for the tiny two room school in Penny. When she stepped off the train into the sawmill town of Penny, she found herself in a bustling world tucked between the mountains and the river, and accessible only by rail. A world without electricity or phones, and filled with moose, bear, beaver, and fish, and the men who worked at sawmilling and logging. The world of Penny was so captivating and compelling that it held her fascination for more than 60 years. There she found romance, got married, and raised five children in a small house nestled at the base of Red Mountain. Written as a legacy for her family and friends, this book is an intimate account of Olga Boudreau's life, to be enjoyed moment by moment, just as she lived it.

How to Build Cabins, Lodges, and Bungalows by Popular Science Monthly Pdf
Many generations ago, the cabin was the backbone of American life; it was the headquarters of that important unit—the home. It provided shelter, protection, and a foundation upon which to build a great empire. The pioneer cabin, understandably, was a necessity. Even in today's modern and complex world, many people still reside in cabins built to withstand permanent housing. In addition, cabins that serve as hunting and fishing lodges, summer cottages, and bungalows are seen as recreational luxuries. Cabins are healthy investments—when built correctly and cared for continuously, that is. Originally published in 1934, How to Build Cabins, Lodges, and Bungalows is both a historical and practical text that offers step-by-step instructions on how to build these structures and their various components: doors, windows, shutters, fireplaces, chimneys, porches, and more. In addition to shedding light on how cabins, lodges, bungalows—and even wayside stands and tourist homes—are built, the editors of Popular Science Monthly also included ideas for furnishing and decorating the finished homes and lodges, along with suggested lands on which to build them and tips on how to finance them.

Cabins in the Laurel by Muriel Earley Sheppard Pdf
In 1928 New York native Muriel Earley Sheppard moved with her mining engineer husband to the Toe River Valley -- an isolated pocket in North Carolina between the Blue Ridge and Iron Mountains. Sheppard began visiting her neighbors and forming friendships in remote coves and rocky clearings, and in 1935 her account of life in the mountains -- Cabins in the Laurel -- was published. The book included 128 striking photographs by the well-known Chapel Hill photographer, Bayard Wootten, a frequent visitor to the area. The early reviews of Cabins in the Laurel were overwhelmingly positive, but the mountain people -- Sheppard's friends and subjects -- initially felt that she had portrayed them as too old-fashioned, even backward. As novelist John Ehle shows in his foreword, though, fifty years have made a huge difference, and the people of the Toe River Valley have been among its most affectionate readers. This new large-format edition, which makes use of many of Wootten's original negatives, will introduce Sheppard's words and Wootten's photography to a whole new generation of readers -- in the Valley and beyond.
