Young Adult. Folklore. Oral History. Edited by his friend Vaugh Ward, Harvey Carr's tales establish him as the representative northern woodsman. Ranging from Hello, I'm Harvey Carr through Real Bears and Not Real Bears to So Long, Etc. These short pieces are charming stories, deceptively sophisticated in their earthy simplicity. If I'd kept on tellin' the truth, I'd never have gotten into these thing! You get in the right group and everyone adds something ... If people laugh, they're not mad, they're not cryin'. They're going to be feelin' better. (Introduction). An excellent book for children from eleven up, as well as anyone interested in the truth about the Adirondacks. Illustrations by Deborah Delaney.
