Loved the first half of this book!! Having lived in the area for many years, the stories, the visuals, the history just grabbed me into the book!! A great read for Canadian history lovers!!
Some outdated language but it was very insightful about the history of the Fraser River, and also poetic in some parts. It felt nice to read about an area so dear to me.
Slurs weren’t great, but i truly enjoyed learning about Alex Mackenzie and his search for garlic and other seasoning in the new world. He would have loved Grinch Fries
A masterful piece of writing suffused with Bruce Hutchison's inimitable style. He merges history, anecdotal evidence and personal memories to bring the history of the Fraser River to life.
