Product Description

Trail to the Interior is R. M. Patterson s rich account of exploration and personal adventure in the Cassiar district of British Columbia. The trail is the historic track from Wrangell, Alaska, along the Stikine and Dease rivers and across the height of the land into the valleys of the Liard and the Mackenzie. Explorers and traders of the Hudson s Bay Company and the Russian American Company had ventured this river route, and Raymond Patterson followed in their footsteps. Travelling by riverboat and canoe, camping by quiet water and hiking the rugged hills, Patterson came to know the people and the past of the Cassiar district, and the great wilderness stretches into the Yukon. Trail to the Interior is a classic to be savoured by outdoors adventurers and armchair explorers alike.

Customer Reviews

A splendid journey
I bought this book on a recent trip to Jasper and R.M. Patterson became my companion for the next week -- or rather, I became his. It is hard for me to describe just how captivating I found his journey, the land he trekked through and R.M. himself. He truly goes on my list of "people I wish I had the opportunity to have known." When I finished the book, I turned to my wife and said, "I feel as if I've lost a friend." Remarkable man, remarkable journey, remarkable book.
