The book is so beautifully written and evokes the prairies as I know them. On every page there is something to make the reader pause; or grin; or nod in agreement. My father was born and grew up in Northern Saskatchewan; so this book helps me better grasp his early life. It will be a book I read often.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. great history; food for thought; and inspirtation for my own tripsBy Just MeHeres the Table of Contents:Preface1 - Night Vision: Of the Moonlit Plains by Train2 - Dog: Of the Dogs of the Old Plains and of Building a Travois3 - "Mush!": Of Plains Journeys through Heat; Snow; and Mosquitoes with a Remarkable Husky4 - Canoe: Of the Extraordinary River Voyages of Plains Navigators5 - "En Avant!": Of Coyotes; Cattle; and Wire; and of the Many Wonders of the Prairie River6 - Horse: Of the "Great Gift" of the Spanish and of What-Might-Have-Been7 - "Gee up!": Of a Final Journey in the Great Valley and of Adventures with a Philosophical Horse8 - Day Flight:Of Home and the View from AboveAcknowledgmentsBiographic NotesChapter NotesReferencesIndexThis book really struck home for me. There are so many long distance hiking; or even horseback riding; adventure-logs; but this is one of the few with a focus on history rather than heroic struggle.
