"Driftwood Valley recounts a magnificent story of adventure and survival in the wilds of northern British Columbia. For almost three years, naturalist Theodora Stanwell-Fletcher, together with her husband John, a trapper and explorer, lived and worked in the remote Driftwood River country. Marked "unexplored" and "unsurveyed" on the few incomplete maps of the area, it was a region that had seen few white people." "From their wilderness cabin, the Stanwell-Fletchers studied the area's rich wildlife. Her account reveals the daily pleasures and insights sparked by living close to the wild. It also documents the isolation, hardships, and struggles, including the severe sub-arctic winters that brought deep snow and temperatures of forty-below."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

This is one of the most unique and interesting books I have ever read. I was also pleasantly surprised to find that the author grew up a few miles from where I grew up in Northeast PA and that her conservation efforts allowed me to enjoy some of the same places that she did. Her descriptions of the Northern wilderness and the animals that she found there have stirred my curiosity to explore and learn more. The back of my book includes a bibliography and I'm glad it does.

Based on journal entries, this is the story of a husband and wife who lived in a cabin (built themselves) in a remote mountain valley in Northern Canada. So far north that winter lasts six or seven months out of the year, twenty-foot snowfalls are common, nobody lives for miles and miles around except the Indians and of course the wildlife. They traveled there to study the plants and animals, to take samples for a museum. The book is full of details about how they lived, surviving the elements, hunting their own food, trying to get along with their Indian neighbors, reveling in the beauty of the wilderness and the northern lights. They had no radio, no running water, chopped wood for their heat, etc. It was a life of hard work, but they loved it. This is a book with a big heart, full of love for the wilderness. There's lots of adventures as every time they traveled to meet a plane or explore a new area they had to pack all their gear and food on their backs, and walk all the way on snowshoes.
