Picturesque but dull tale about the father of an Alaskan wilderness family who struggles mightily with a bad leg while doing all the requisite wilderness things, such as fishing, trapping, hunting, picking berries, and training sled-dogs. Very routine stuff, but it's always fun to hear the
late, great Chief Dan George tell a few rustic tales. Story is based on a real-life character.
