About this title

Synopsis

Rebels and Rascals...LACO Hunt knew them all. The North was a place for heroes back in 1928 when Hunt first came to Canada as a green young recruit in the service of the Hudson's Bay Company. His lively anecdotes are dense with names and places, both familiar and exotic, from Wop May and the Mad Trapper to nameless hoboes. Royalty emerges in the person of an inquisitive Prince Philip who showed an un-Royal interest in all aspects of life in the North. Highly entertaining insight into the era when the North was governed from Ottawa in a total absence of mind.
