Dolores Brown followed her new husband to the wild country of the Yukon in 1953. It didn't take long for the one-time secretary to shed her city ways and adapt to the beauty and danger of her new life. This book regales the reade with the sometimes gripping, often humourous tales of her encounters with grizzly bears, Indian guides, client hunters, tourists, and the wilderness itself over two decades. In it she offers an appealing glimpse of a wilderness lifestyle she came to love.
