"Pike's Portage plays a very special role in the landscape of Canada's Far
North and its human history. It is both an ancient gateway and the funnel for
early travel from the boreal forest of the Mackenzie River watershed to the vast
open spaces of the subarctic taiga, better known as the "Barren Lands" of
Canada.
"This book is a rich and wonderful comopendium of stories about this area and
the early white explorers, the Dene guides, the adventurers, the trappers, the
misguided wanderers (like John Hornby) as well as the modern-day canoeists who
passed this way. For the reader, it provides an absorbing escape into the past
and the endless solitude of the northern wilderness." -- George Luste,
wilderness canoeist, physics professor (University of Toronto), and
founder-organizer of the annual Wilderness Canoeing Symposium.
