Product Description
Sam Cook's writing has brought readers home to the north country for almost two decades. Gather around Friendship Fires and cover new ground with visits to the region's vast prairies, towering forests, and shimmering water retreats.

Friendship Fires lives up to its name by sparking the memories shared by anyone who's dusted off a canoe at the first break of ice in spring of savored autumn's fading sun in late November.

Sam's stories, both touching and hilarious, offer a new perspective on how the outdoors rekindles the wilderness spirit when we build our own friendship fires.

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding book by Cook   August 1, 2000
 2 out of 3 found this review helpful

I took Friendship Fires with me on a recent camping trip to read around the fire.. I am a big fan of Mr. Cook, having read many of his columns in the Duluth News Tribune. This book is a collection of his columns over a number of years. The book is composed of many short "stories" that are put together into the book in a logical fashion. The content of the book is outstanding, and will make you laugh, and will also make you stop sometimes and just contemplate the story. The book makes a great gift for anyone who enjoys the outdoors.

Reading Friendship Fires was an experience for me. I usally don't read books that are about the wilderness, but this time I did and I'm glad becuase I learned that being advantures in life can bring you to discover many new oportunitys. I liked the way Sam Cook related his advantures with his family and brought them with, threw out is jorneys. This is a man of great character and I enjoyed reading his book.
