| Publisher Description: In Boone and Crockett Club's newly reprinted edition of Camp-Fires in the Canadian Rockies, readers will join early B&C members William T. Hornaday and John M. Phillips as they travel through the mountains in British Columbia by horseback on an expedition to collect museum specimens and to hunt for the region's various big game animals. Readers will be delighted with the 70 high-quality photographs taken more than a hundred years ago... mostly in risky and daring situations. The images complement Hornaday's prose, which is highly entertaining. The authors' adventures take them among B.C.'s Rocky Mountain goats, grizzly bears, and bighorn sheep with hunting-dog extraordinaire Kaiser as their capable sidekick. Hornaday also provides detailed natural history on the various species--big and small--they encounter along the way. Readers will also enjoy numerous camp-fire tales from the many colorful characters they meet on their trip. |
