About This Item
"Arthur Shelford arrived in Canada from England in 1908. Twenty-two yeard old and with experience only as a government clerk, he came to discover a new life. After stints labouring on the railway through the Rockies and a pleasant time in a coastal logging camp at Powell River, he and his brother decided to homestead land in the North. A walk of 160 miles from Hazelton brought them to the shores of Ootsa Lake, far from anything resembling civilization. Here the Shelfords set out to tame the wilderness on their own. With clear prose and with exacting detail, Arthur Shelford recounts the joys and triumphs, trials and tribulations of a lifetime happily spent in that pursuit."
Cyril Shelford was born in the wilderness a mile from his Uncle Arthur's ranch. Educated only through correspondence courses and "in the classroom of the great outdoors", he rose to become a successful rancher, big game hunting guide and politician.
INSCRIBED on the title page : "To Conrad, With My Very Best Wishes and enjoy the book. Sincerely, Cyril Shelford."
