About this title

Synopsis

Written with R. M. Pattersons characteristic sharp wit and observation, this classic tale chronicles the year he spent battling frigid temperatures and wild waters along the Nahanni River in Canadas Northwest Territories. Patterson originally travelled to the North with hopes of finding gold, and clues to the mysterious disappearance of earlier prospectors. Instead, he fell in love with the landscape, and through his meticulously recorded journals and hauntingly beautiful photographs he introduced the now-famous Nahanni River to the world. Pattersons bestselling first book is now back in print and ready to take readers down the treacherous and challenging waters of the Nahanni River once again.
