Philip H. Godsell - a former Hudson's Bay Co. Inspector -
wrote the first books in the '30s. Phil could improve on even the best tall tales. Look
for his "Arctic
Trader", "Red Hunters of the Snows", "The Vanishing Frontier",
"They Got Their Man", "The Romance of the Alaska Highway",
"Pilots of the Purple Twilight", and "The
Yukon".
My old friend, R. M. Patterson, could write
some good tall ones:
"Dangerous River", 'The Buffalo Head",
"Far Pastures", "Trail to the Interior",
and "Finley's River".
and Pierre
Burton's "The
Mysterious North" is pretty
fine, too.
Now, my dear friend Dick Turner wrote genuine
stories from his life on the river:
"Nahanni", "Wings of the North", and "Sunrise
on Mackenzie".

and Harry
Gordon-Cooper's "Yukoners-True
Tales of the Yukon"
< http://www.hancockhouse.com/titles/yukriv.htm >
Pat & Rosemarie Keough published "The Nahanni Portfolio" a lovely picture book.
Joanne Moore wrote of a year-long honeymoon spent on the Nahanni in "Nahanni Trailhead".
R. Neil Hartling
has "Nahanni
- River of Gold.. River of Dreams".
< http://www.crca.ca/ >
and Peter
Jowett's "Nahanni
- The River Guide" is good.

>
also, A.C. Lewis "Nahanni Remembered", Will Bern Brown's "Arctic Journal" and Jim
Lang's "Papa
X-Ray"
and, last but by no means least, my friend Norm Kagan, back home in Minnesota, has some interesting items relating to this area:
a 20-page article from the Summer, 1998, Alaska Geographic Quarterly, called 'Pelly Pioneers at Ross River', about Nahanni Klondikers,
a 22 minute video tape titled 'Lord of Nahanni' about Poole Field, one of the first fellas in here,
and a brief biography about me, 'Albert Faille and the Dangerous River'.
You can contact
him here at his email address if you
would like a copy of this material.
well, I guess that's
enough; I don't read all that well, anyway!
