* Wilderness Beginnings is
a teal life story of how Paul
Hertel battied the harsh Ca-

faced disasters.

Some people dream of

leaving home to seek fame
and fortune, and that’s what
Paul did.

Germany to cut a heritage
out of the Canadian wilder-
hess.

Wilderness Beginnings is
a great adventure story
about Paul living out a
dream as an early pioneer in
B.C, and surviving the bru-
tal cold winters as a trapper.
. The book also unfolds a
wonderful love story about a
couple separated by family
differences and later by dis-

free way of life.

alone and penniless living in
a vast wildemess. He did
make some friends — some
