“A portrait of a true original.” —The Hamilton Spectator

A Life in the Bush is the kind of book most sons would wish to write about their fathers. It’s the kind of book I wish I could write about my dad—a man who was sometimes hard to live with, but is much harder to live without.” —Kitchener-Waterloo Record

“MacGregor interweaves Duncan MacGregor’s life as a logger in Algonquin Park, their father-son relationship, family history, the park and logging industry’s history, with a discourse on Canadian literature and an acute appreciation of the bush. Many threads to pull together, but the master weaver does it magnificently.” —Regina Sun
                                   
“No ordinary man, Dunc MacGregor will live on much longer by grace of this vivid, extraordinary book.” —Maclean’s

“[A Life in the Bush] is my favourite book by a Canadian this year.” —Edmonton Journal

“MacGregor has done a marvelous job of telling his story and in the wider tale of Algonquin Park has written a pivotal Canadian story. It is delicious reading, the kind of book that makes you want to find Roy MacGregor and shake his hand and thank him for getting it down on paper.” —The Gazette
