Summary: | country n Neverthelss most outports held a few men who preferred the stark tundra to the rolling plains of ocean. These were mainly men who carried within them the instinctive predilections of Indian ancestors. Leaving the settlements in October, accompanied by their dogs and laden with all the supplies they could carry, they traversed the windswept sweep of the high barrens until they came to the southward edge of the Big Woods . Here they would build tiny cabins called tilts, and spend the winters trapping. They were seldom seen again until late February .They were called "the country-men". PRINTED ITEM DNE-cit G. M.
