David Davis, one of John Davis's many sons, was a true man of the bush. He almost never went to town. He lived with his father and brothers away from the rest of the Doig River community. He had a special relationship to the animals of the bush. He was shy and quiet around strangers but was a source of humor, wisdom and inspiration to people who knew him and spoke his language.
