Crusoe of Lonesome Lake

In 1912, Ralph Edwards left civilization and vanished into a remote section of British Columbia. Like Robinson Crusoe, he had to make his own tools and learn the hard way, by trial and error. Unlike Crusoe, he fought for his survival against a hostile environment; deep snow, bitter cold and wild animals. This is the story of his life-long and victorious battle. "A remarkable life story well told." Library Journal. "One of the most memorable books of modern times." Chicago Sunday Tribune.

Crusoe of Lonesome lake was one of the most inspiring books of determination and adventure I have ever read, of how a person if he wants to bad enough can with a few necessary tools make a comfortable home out of a rugged wilderness,find true love and successively raise a family,no matter what may happen.Using hard work, determination, faith in God,spouse,and right principles for yourself. By Lorene Mancuso

As a teenager (a few decades ago) this book, like no other, appealed to my sense of adventure and love of the outdoors. The passion and persistence with which Mr. Edwards crafted his dreams were a lingering source of inspiration to me. I have purchased several used copies of this book and given them to each of my three sons as well as relatives and friends — all of whom have loved the book!By Rob McInnes
