Synopsis
Fourteen-year-old Pierre takes the bold step of agreeing to become an hivernant, a voyageur who stays in the north woods all winter. The book is lively with the dangers and deeds of voyageur life and with the customs of the Ojibway, winter neighbors who become Pierre's friends.

Near misses abound as the uncouth bowman Beloit harasses Pierre and as the trials of winter survival push each man to his limit. Based on the author's research into the journals of explorers and traders, the story is historically authentic while maintaining a focus on Pierre's personal journey from adolescence toward manhood.
