A pleasant, comfortable read, history of the Peace River Country, with excerpts from the pioneers, fur traders, Hudson's' Bay Men, the North West RCMP, Whisky Runners, Gold Prospectors, Trappers, Missionaries, and the countless other sundry characters who first populated the North. Well and often exuberantly written, it inspires one with the places to be searched and the countless exploration opportunities...
(It turns out he has a whole range of other books written about the local history of Alberta, Battle River, Edmonton, Etc. Have to keep my eyes peeled...)
