About this Item

pp: 117 D. In 1964 two guys, with a load of equipment, two canoes, and little else, decided to travel by water through the roughest, least inhabited, most inhospitable terrain possible in northern Canada. They took 11 weeks, and a lot of luck, to complete the trip to the eastern point of Great Slave Lake. Curiously, the author waited some 10 years before writing about their experiences. They photographed their trip, and included 50 of those shots in the book. This copy has been inscribed and signed by Browning on the title page. It is dated in 1988. The inscription is to a popular long distance walker. The condition of the book is very good with moderate wear to the covers, mainly along the edges. The text is clean and free of external markings. The first edition is scarce. A signed copy is even more hard to find.
