Product Description
Review
What a marvellous journey this book takes us on, from the foothills of the Rockies to the marshes of Cumberland Lake. We hear of witnesses, from Buffalo hunter Peter Erasmus to Saskatchewan's former poet laureate, Glen Sorestad. This is Myrna Kostash at her imaginative best. - Maggie Siggins Myrna Kostash and Duane Burton catch the North Saskatchewan in full literary flood, as a river of stories, poetry, and romance. - Candace Savage
Product Description
This is the story of the North Saskatchewan River in multiple voices, including writing by famous names and those less familiar, from its rise in the Rocky Mountains to its exit into Lake Winnipeg.

a fine and true journey,

This review is from: Reading the River: A Traveller's Companion to the North Saskatchewn River (Paperback)
Allowing a reader to discover a place, a history and a nature is a kind of gift. The book takes the reader on a journey that sees this river through First Nation, explorer, exploiter, politician, and settlers' eyes. The level of research into all of this is enormous, yet the book flows through ages of facts,maps, stories, and literature that always leaves you looking around the next bend for what this river will show you next. A remarkable read it made me want to find a way to float down and see it all.JH
