Go North Young Man, Go North!
by
Robert Wayne Mumford
We all have a story to tell.….this is mine! A coming of age during a time of social change in the 50's and 60's. A story of discovery and adventure, good choices and bad, laughter and sorrow, temptation and failure; From fist fights to fiddle music, homeless to homesteader, A positive story that leads from rebellion to redemption, and a new way of life!
Robert Wayne Mumford (Bob) was born in 1941 in the midwest USA, at Lacona, Iowa. At that time his family was still farming with horses but soon moved 'out west' to Sweet Home, Oregon. Bob eventually found his way to the Vanderhoof area in the north central interior of British Columbia, Canada, in 1961, where the major part of this story takes place. His story is told with humour and clarity of the issues he faced and the many characters he met. His descriptive phrases bring the story to life and give it depth. After 40 years of logging and farming Bob has now retired to Clearwater, B.C. with his wife, Joan, where they enjoy the country lifestyle, and are close to their children and grandchildren.
