I Live in the Woods: A Book of Personal Recollections and Woodland Lore.
Provencher, Paul.
 1st Edition.  Fredericton, New Brunswick: Brunswick Press Limited, 1953.
Original green cloth, gilt titles to upper board and spine, original pictorial dust jacket, illustrated by the author. Foreword by Colonel R. R. McCormick.
Hand signed by Paul Provencher on front free endpaper.
Cover condition as shown, with weak dust jacket seams now backed - see photo. Binding tight. No internal tears or stains. text and illustrations clean throughout.

The subject of the book is the life, memoirs, and first-hand experiences of Paul Provencher as a forest engineer, modern-day coureur de bois (woodsman), and survival expert in the remote wilderness of northern Quebec.
The main topic is traditional bushcraft, indigenous woodcraft lore, and wilderness survival skills. It acts as a practical outdoor manual detailing specific techniques like map and compass navigation, creating shelters, winter and summer wilderness travel, trapping, fishing, cooking over campfires, and identifying edible or medicinal plants.
Paul Provencher was a prominent French-Canadian forest engineer, explorer, and author whose deep appreciation for the wilderness earned him renown as a traditional coureur des bois. Graduating as a forest engineer in 1925, he spent decades mapping and conducting forest inventories across major river basins in Quebec, notably along the north shore of the St. Lawrence River. During his expeditions, he formed enduring, respectful relationships with the Innu (Montagnais) people, documenting their traditional ways of life through remarkable photographs and archival films that bridged cultural gaps during an era of heavy assimilation policies. An accomplished outdoorsman, artist, and educator, Provencher also shared vital bushcraft and survival skills—such as Indigenous-derived construction techniques—with the public and military forces, leaving behind an invaluable legacy celebrating Canada&#39;s northern landscapes and Indigenous cultures.
