Notes From The Century Before: A Journal From British Columbia

In 1966 Edward Hoagland made a three-month excursion into the wild country of northern British Columbia. His account of this trip, Notes from the Century Before, is one of the great travel books of our time. It depicts a way of life that was disappearing even as he chronicled it and it highlights Edward Hoagland's extraordinary gifts for portraiture, from salty prospector to trader, explorer, missionary, and Indian guide. Here is a breathtaking mix of anecdote, derring-do, and the long sigh of the wilderness loner.
