Customer Reviews

Interesting, enjoyable biography & history of Canadian West.

This was a throroughly enjoyable read.It was an entertaining and descriptive history of my newly adopted home. The author describes in vivid detail what the area was like 100 years ago and one doesn't need look too hard to find the footprints left by Jimmy Simpson and his friends.A good read that has inspired me to read more of the original frontiersmen, the area and those who documented it (eg. artist Carl Rungius).
