Book Description
You are fighting desperately against Adolf Hitlers most merciless force: the Waffen-SS. You are also fighting the harshest European winter on record, incompetent leadership at varying levels of command, and a strained and sometimes corrupt supply system that deprives you of desperately needed winter clothing, food, and ammunition. Your First Sergeant is a shirker and coward who hates you. Your company commander is timid and makes poor decisions or avoids them altogether. The enemy aims cannon fire at you each time you leave your foxhole to relieve yourself. You have dysentery. Your feet are frozen. You have a respiratory infection and a fever. Yet you will not be evacuated from the front lines to a field hospital. Your friends are suffering horrific wounds and dying violently all around you. Some even freeze to death. All this, and you have not yet reached your twentieth birthday. Chances are, you wont.

Book Description
Survival in the Canadian Wilderness by Vern D. Seefeldt, Ph.D. Determined to find riches in the Canadian fur trade, Barney accepted an unknown partner, Louie Harris, to assist him as a homesteader in the wilderness of 1925 British Columbia. The two men experienced great success on the trapline, despite the unforeseen challenges brought about by a severe winter of deep snow, bone-chilling temperatures, and risk-taking behavior attributable to both men. Louie’s disappearance, with only three days remaining in the trapping season, turned a great adventure into an outright disaster. Frustrated by the unwillingness of local authorities to accept Louie’s disappearance as an involuntary act, Barney tried numerous times during the ensuing years to locate his missing partner, but Harris was never seen or heard from again. Barney Seefeldt died on December 14, 1973, in Grover Township, northeastern Wisconsin, without ever again visiting the site of his Canadian homestead. Survival in the Canadian Wilderness: The Legend of Louie Harris is a fictionalized explanation of what may have become of the enigmatic Louie Harris.
