I spent many years of my early days(1956-62) in the area that Keighley writes of,and can assure readers that he is telling as it was. Some of the native and non-native people he writes about were known to me,and his depictions of them and their lifestyle is very accurate. One should not be put off by reference to "Indians" and "halfbreeds". That was how they and others generally described themselves and others-although modern "sensitivities" have rendered these terms as pejoratives. A great read,and an authentic tale of a tough determined man,who stayed in control of his life,while facing the rigours of life in the "bush".
