Young Ben (Blackwater Ben) has spent the winter helping his father, the cook at a Minnesota logging camp; now Ben is ready for the adventure of a log drive. Along the way, he faces dangerous rapids--and hungry lumberjacks. Set on the Blackwater River in the late nineteenth century, this story has enough historical detail for school use but also a swift pace supported by the loggers' buoyant stories and antics.
