Summary: "The Backwoodsmen" by Charles G. D. Roberts is a collection of nature-focused fictional stories written in the early 20th century. This work explores the lives of woodsmen and their interactions with the wilderness, primarily following characters who exhibit resilience against the harshness of nature. The opening chapter introduces Pete Noël, a woodsman who faces the dire consequences of his cabin burning down in the snowy wilderness and sets the tone for themes of survival and human ingenuity in the face of adversity. At the start of the book, we find Pete Noël abruptly waking to the horrifying sight of his cabin engulfed in flames. Rushing out, he manages to escape with his belongings but soon realizes he must fend for himself in the deep snow without food or shelter. Despite this, he maintains a philosophical outlook, appreciating the simple survival aspects of being alive. As he struggles through frigid conditions, he shows his ingenuity by creating a fire to melt snow for drinking water and attempting to hunt caribou. The opening not only sets up his immediate struggle but also foreshadows a deeper exploration of human resilience against nature's uncompromising forces throughout the collection.
