The book contains photographs and hand drawn maps from his collection. Author Robert J. Bable was born on June 19, 1919, and grew up in a small semi-rural village in the south central part of Michigan. I discovered who I was while exploring the fields and forests that surrounded our village. As a young man, I spent a great deal of time in the Ontario wilderness where I learned many of the secrets of living off the land -- skills I would need in the remote regions of New Guinea.
