Wilderness Cabin Peggy Lee Tremper

Having adopted two children in Newfoundland, Canada, Peggy returns to the States with her husband. In the back woods of northern Minnesota Peggy buys a forty-acre section of land where she clears a site near a wilderness pond. One day while she was working out in the woods it began to rain and she got the idea to build a tool shed. The tool shed ended up to be an eight by ten foot cabin in which she lived for a while. Friendship Cabin was built by her friends with rustic cedar siding and used windows. She didn't mind living without electricity or running water since she did without both in Africa, where she was a missionary for six years. The challenges of splitting wood, hauling drinking water from a neighbor and melting snow for washing up were met with determination. When deer, moose and even bear visited the pond regularly she was inspired to write delightful wild animal stories that the old and the young alike will enjoy. This tale is captivating and entertaining.
