DJ/NF w/light edge wear & showing discoloration. Upper text edge dyed green; also showing discoloration. Maps to endpapers. Trace brown spotting (foxing/acidic reaction) to leading edges. Published w/o ISBN; ISBN subsequently assigned. Journal of a leisurely three-month sojourn in British Columbia. Ever an observant reporter, an acute portraitist who brought the essay to high art, Edward Hoagland (1932 - ) recaptures the mood and feel of the old era of homesteading and gold strikes --- that is, "an era of walking" when the world belonged to fur-trappers, mountainmen, and surveyor/explorers. Travelling usually by float plane, the author covered much ground and conversed with many an octogenarian with vivid memories of the past. A spontaneous memoir, an oral history, and an excursion into a world past. Fine copy.
