| Publisher Description: Dutch Clarke - The Early Years (2nd Edition). We all come into this world alone and go out the same way. Between the coming and going is life. This is a story about life and how a year long adventure defines the future of a reluctant young man named Dutch Clarke. Manipulated by the terms of his dead grandfather's will, Dutch undertakes his ordeal in the rugged wilderness of British Columbia in 1941. This is a classic story of one man's personal struggle to come of age against all odds. Dutch begins his trek accompanied by his horse Blaze, two mules and a half wild dog, Gus. As they pack into the remote Nascall Valley, he digs deep, learning courage, self-reliance and how to survive. On this unforgiving trail, Dutch faces many obstacles, some life-threatening, some inspiring, all a challenge to his character and spirit. This poignant story is written in a powerful narrative style that draws the reader ever deeper, propelling them from one adventure to the next. It's a story of redemption, love, birth and death, a heart-felt story that relates the events that shape its characters' lives in an edge-of-your-seat survival saga. |
