- Book Synopsis
- The stories in Far Pastures take readers to R.M. Patterson'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 there's the story of the bear that liked to canoe!
- About The Author
- R.M. Patterson (1898-1984) moved to Canada when he realized that working in a London bank would never bring him happiness. He spent the remaining years of his life pursuing adventure in the Canadian West and was a delightfully evocative writer and an intrepid explorer. Authoring a total of five books about his excursions into the Canadian wilderness and his life on a southern Alberta ranch, Raymond Murray Patterson earned himself legions of fans and made Canada's wilderness famous. TouchWood Editions is proud to be keeping his works in print.The Buffalo Head: 978-1-894898-16-4 / $19.95 pbFar Pastures: 978-1-894898-15-7 / $19.95 pbFinlay's River: 978-1-894898-38-6 / $19.95 pbThose Earlier Hills : 978-1-894898-67-6 / $24.95 clTrail to the Interior: 978-1-894898-50-8 / $19.95 pb
