A sentimental journey in the manner of Bret Harte to the moonshining camp of an old scalliwag and his pals in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Danny McGinnis, graduate from mines and lumber camp was the mainstay of Hungry Hollow- "a disorderly Pan-a one-man band". There was Buller of high stature and appetites, gentle Timmy, gassed in World War I, Swan and Taconite, bewildered refugees of the depression. The boys at one point tenderly adopt a cow who- under the influence of moonshine- chases a bear, they also see Danny through an uncomfortable bout with "religion", visit Big Annie's respected, unrespectable establishment, and indulge in other roughish doings. Generally engaging episodes in the tradition of the benevolent bum, for a masculine audience. (Kirkus Reviews)
