Book Description

ISBN-10: 0888260431 | ISBN-13: 978-0888260437 | Publication Date: June 1963

The stories in Far Pastures take readers to R.M. PattersonÂ’s homestead in the Peace River country of northern Alberta. To all-night dances that ended as the northern lights faded in the dawn. To escapades on the Fort Nelson, Liard and South Nahanni rivers. And to a ranch in southern Alberta where he raised cattle during the lean years of the 1930s and entertained dudes on mountaintops. In later years, Patterson helped build a wartime road through the Canadian Northwest to Alaska. And then thereÂ’s the story of the bear that liked to canoe!
