The narrative explores Dean Marks' life, shaped by the Great Depression, as he embarked on a timber faller's career at just fourteen. His intelligence, resourcefulness, and humor create a compelling portrait of a complex man who balanced strong opinions with tolerance and confidence with humility. Through anecdotes and reflections, the author shares valuable lessons learned from his father, while also shedding light on a fading profession and the unique wisdom of a memorable figure in that world.
