Grey Owl
The Men of the Last Frontier
Beyond the last road lay another Canada. It was a country of forest and muskeg, rivers and cold lakes, trap lines, winter camps and long distances travelled by canoe, snowshoe and dog team. Men who lived there depended less upon possessions than upon judgement: the ability to read weather, follow a trail, repair what had broken and endure what could not be avoided.

Inside the edition
About this book.
Grey Owl knew that world from within. In The Men of the Last Frontier he records the trappers, guides, woodsmen and Indian figures of the northern bush at the very moment when their old world was beginning to recede before roads, markets and modern settlement. Yet beneath the portraits lies another story: the awakening conviction that the wilderness itself was not inexhaustible. The former trapper who would become one of Canada’s most famous voices for wildlife conservation here stands between two ages — the old frontier of taking and the emerging ethic of preservation. A rugged, elegiac portrait of men, animals and a northern country approaching the end of one era. The frontier was closing. The wilderness remained.
