Résumé

"Phil Bradley's Snow-shoe Trail" by Silas K. Boone is an adventurous tale set in the Canadian wilderness, where four boys from Brewster-Phil Bradley, Ethan Allen, X-Ray Tyson, and Lub Fenwick-embark on a winter expedition. The story begins with the boys traveling through the snowy landscape on a sledge driven by a Scotch-Canadian named Tammis McNab. Their destination is a remote area known for its abundance of moose and caribou, where they plan to camp and hunt. Along the way, they learn about a notorious poacher named Baylay, who is known for his violent temper and disregard for the law. As the boys settle into their camp, they engage in various activities, including ice fishing and building a shelter. Lub, the group's cook, becomes an unexpected hero when he inadvertently lures a bear with his catch of fish. The bear's pursuit of Lub leads to a thrilling chase across the ice, ending with Phil and Ethan shooting the bear to protect their friend. This incident provides the group with fresh meat and a sense of accomplishment. Throughout the story, the boys demonstrate their resourcefulness and camaraderie as they navigate the challenges of the wilderness. They also explore the use of modern conveniences, such as concentrated foods and self-heating cans, which add an element of change to their adventure. The narrative is filled with humor, excitement, and the spirit of exploration, capturing the essence of a classic outdoor adventure.
