R.M. Patterson - A Life of Great Adventure (Paperback)

David Finch's highly regarded biography of R.M. Patterson is now available in paperback.

With access to Patterson's diaries, letters and photographs, as well as numerous interviews with Patterson and members of his family, Finch recounts the adventurous life of this well-loved outdoorsman, writer and rancher and sheds light on some of what Patterson left unsaid.
