SynopsisIn the mid-1920s Raymond M. Patterson left a comfortable position with the Bank of England for a life in with wilds of Canada. Here, he hunted, trapped, fished and prospected his way along the rivers he would later write about. This spellbinding book, his most famous account, chronicles his two journeys down the treacherous Nahanni River between the Yukon and the Mackenzie River, spurred on by his irrepressible lust for adventure and his quest for gold. The New Yorker called this "a truly enchanting book."

Found myself getting cold at times during the read!
An adventure few would take. Well written from eddy to cliff to some of the greatest and harrowing of outdoor challenges. The resilience of man against nature!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
