Paul H. St. Pierre was a journalist and author in British Columbia, Canada, where he served as Member of Parliament for the riding of Coast Chilcotin from 1968-1972. He was the first Canadian winner of the Western Writers of America Spur Award for fiction.
I liked these snipets of life in Chilcotin Country, though they likely would have meant more had I been from there. If you like tall tales and anecdotal history, this is a good choice.
