Dangerous River  

by R.M. Patterson. In 1927, long before the area became a World Heritage Site, Mr. Patterson was poling his scow up the Nahanni River. A wonderful writer, he takes you on a journey of phenomenal sunsets and stark beauty in a mysterious land. Who really murdered the McLeod brothers, about which Deadman's Valley was named? This book is considered the most classic account of a country that still retains much of its original rawness.
