The Epic of Mount Everest (Illustrated)

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.
