A classic account of pioneer life and the natural history of British Columbia, originally published in 1946 and thankfully returned to print. The estimable Wendell Berry provides an introduction to this edition. The author is not only an excellent writer (the book won the John Burroughs medal) but also earned her a doctorate in animal ecology (one of the first from Cornell). With animal illustrations by her husband John, photographs, and a list of plants and animals in the area. Stanwell-Fletcher spent three years in the wilderness of north-central British Columbia at a cabin that they built on a lake. Enchanted with the wild places, she also wrote Tundra World and Clear Lands and Icy Seas, A Voyage to the Eastern Arctic.
