The River Calls

In northern Minnesota, fall 1947, two hunters meet while on a goose hunting trip. They agree to share a campfire and begin a friendship that carries them through many years and adventures. The old river rat Wil Morgan tells of his life on the Bigfork River and Matt Andrews, the Minneapolis doctor tries to make a new life for himself with Wil as his teacher. The community accepts him and he starts a medical practice for the townspeople and the lumberjacks. This is a delightful tale of how life once was, and how we sometimes wish that it could still be. In a time of terrorists and wholesale murder, it feels good to sit back and remember a gentler time, a time when you could still hear wolves at night and come inside the warm cabin with frost in your beard and smell the homemade bread.
