HELM, CHARLES & MIKE MURTHA & ROBERT WILLIAM SANDFORD - The Forgotten Explorer Samuel Prescott Fay's 1914 Expedition to the Northern Rockies
Surrey, BC: Rocky Mountain Books, 2009. First Edition. Softcover. ISBN: 189752255X. Card covers show light shelf wear, minor creasing, light corner curl. ; A tight solid book. B&W photographs ; Trade PB; Mountain Classics Collection; 6.5 X 1 X 9.25 inches; 292 pages; "North of Jasper, in the Canadian Rockies, is a large, spectacular wilderness of alpine flower meadows, glaciated peaks, canyons, waterfalls and abundant wildlife. Compared to the millions each year who visit Banff and Jasper national parks immediately to the south, this northern area sees few visitors. Fewer still have ever attempted to travel through this wilderness in one continuous trip. The first to do so was Samuel Prescott Fay in 1914. To this day, his exact route has never been duplicated. During his expedition, Fay kept a detailed journal (currently held at the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC), which he provided to the US Biological Survey (now known as the US Fish & Wildlife Service) and to various Canadian government authorities. However, the journal in its entirety has never been published. Brought together for the first time in book form, both maps and journal entries provide an early and dynamic record of an area that remains little known to this day.". Very Good .
