In 1966, Edward Hoagland made a three-month excursion into the wild country of British Columbia and encountered a way of life that was disappearing even as he chronicled it. Showcasing Hoagland's extraordinary gifts for portraiture-his cast runs from salty prospector to trader, explorer, missionary, and indigenous guide-Notes from the Century Before is a breathtaking mix of anecdote, derring-do, and unparalleled elegy from one of the finest writers of our time.

Industry Reviews

"This book is as remarkable as the landscape it describes." --Newsweek

"One of the most interesting, revealing, and delightful travel books I have read."--The New York Review of Books

"His journal is about tangles and unrealized ambitions . . . and he understands wonderfully what to make of what he sees and hears. . . . A strange and beautiful book."--The Washington Post

"Hoagland builds up an extensive, vivid picture of a place and people and, like all good travel writers, makes the reader want to start right out over his tracks."--The Atlantic Monthly

"A beautiful book: so sharp and persistent in rendering the visible world, and yet so strangely wild with feeling."--Philip Roth

"A spellbinding document."--George Plimpton
