Early in the Season vividly evokes the vast stands of trees, the fast-flowing rivers, the rocky ridgelines of the province?s unspoiled central interior.

Poignant, probing, and historically rich, this book offers a window on the people and places that shaped British Columbia and a transporting read for anyone curious about life in one of the world's most majestic wildernesses.
