Far Pastures
In Far Pastures, Raymond Patterson offers the rich spirit and vitality of the frontier; he lived, sweated and risked his life in the wildernesss. Homesteading in the Peace River country, ranching in the foothills, camping among the mountains, trapping up the Nahanni, Patterson's life in Canada was a far cry from his years in the mellow beauty of Oxford, and the formality of the Bank of England. This dashing adventurer became an expert outdoorsman and an outstanding writer.

The author was not only a great explorer and adventurer, but a great writer. How is that some people have so many attributes at once? Luckily for us he did, because he wrote so entertainingly about his experiences homesteading in the Peace River country of Alberta. dog-sledding up to the Yukon, ranching in the Rocky Mountain foothills and canoeing down the mighty rivers of British Columbia. Far Pastures consists of yarns drawn from a long and action-packed life. I heartily enjoyed it.
