{"product_id":"9780773517103","title":"Snow Man: John Hornby in Canada's Barren Lands","description":"\u003cbr\u003eHornby, who came from an affluent British family, emigrated to Canada in 1904 and fell in love with the Canadian North. Known as a man who could deal with any situation, however adverse, he seemed to seek out hardship. According to legend he could \"out-Indian the Indians\" in his ability to survive in the northern wilds and often set out into the bush with little more than a rifle, a gillnet, a bag of flour, and tea. His strange and solitary ways earned him the nickname \"Hermit of the North\" and old-timers often described him as \"bushed\" or \"bush-queer\" as a result of spending too much time in the bush.","brand":"Mcgill-Queens University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47015433339120,"sku":"9780773517103","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780773517103","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
