“John Hildebrand sets out in a canoe . . . to explore the great riverway of northwestern Canada and Alaska. . . . The geography is closely rendered and the characters especially sharply drawn. The country is filled with mad dropouts at river fish camps, good-hearted girls in the towns, sullen natives in tumbledown villages, cranky old-timers, terrible drunks and worse moralizers who live off the wild landscape and its abundant resources. . . . This is a fine work, and Hildebrand is a fine writer.”—Charles E. Little, Wilderness

Industry Reviews

Hildebrand has every skill of mind and craft to enfold us in his experience. The New Yorker

" A finely written account of coming to terms with one s self, of the realities of one s dreams. Recommended for anyone who would follow Thoreau into the woods, even now. Library Journal

" For many of us the North has been the one place where a certain elemental experience of land, water, and people can still be had. John Hildebrand s personal account of this experience has a particular freshness and poignancy. It is the record of a journey, as much inward as it is outward, and all the better for that. John Haines, author of The Stars, The Snow, The Fire
