Book Synopsis Wilderness Life in Canada's Yukon Territory by : Manuela Zeitlhofer
Download or read book Wilderness Life in Canada's Yukon Territory written by Manuela Zeitlhofer and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-09-02 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live amidst the untouched wilderness of the Yukon Territory in Canada, 120 kilometers north of the nearest town, Dawson City. Our closest human neighbors live 30 kilometers away. Long, cold winters with little daylight dominate our life. The lack of modern amenities makes hard physical labor necessary. We spend a good part of our days carrying out tasks like getting firewood with a sled, hauling water in buckets, and cooking dinner without electricity or plumbing. This book is based on the diary I kept for the first two years of my life in the wilderness. It documents a typical year, starting with spring: In late March nature is starting to awaken, the sun comes back, the river ice is about to break and after eight months of winter, travel by boat will soon be possible again.

Download or read book North of Familiar written by Terry Milos and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 1974, Terry Milos moved to rural northern Canada, to pursue her dream of homesteading. Following the seventies trend of the back-to-landers, she and her partner left the city life for what they imagined would be a simpler existence. Sometimes humorous and often insightful, North of Familiar is the story of a woman who learned to hunt, fish, and live off the land in what most would consider an utterly hostile and unbelievably cold environment. After a few months of cobbling together a living, Terry reluctantly leaves the north to further her education but with a dream of returning as a teacher. A year later Terry accepts a job in the small town of Atlin where she grows to expect the unexpected. Terry's adventures in the north push her beyond the familiar as she tries to apply her street savvy skills to negotiate a desolate mountain trail, or mush her dogs to school when the deep cold renders her car useless. North of Familiar is about coming to grips with life in the bush far away from the luxuries of the city. In Carcross, Carmacks, Dawson City and Old Crow, Terry navigates the cultural differences between her urban upbringing and the communities of Canada's Indigenous north. In spite of the harsh country, Terry survives and thrives, while raising a family and becoming a part of a strong and unique community. This story is not only entertaining and inspiring, it is also a story of joy, friendship, and change."--

Book excerpt: Finalist for 2006 BC Book Prize - Roderick Haig-Brown Regional Prize Three Rivers: The Yukon's Great Boreal Wilderness is a gorgeous coffee-table book about a wilderness area so vast and so crucial to planetary survival it defies comprehension. Previously unknown to the outside world, the Yukon's Three Rivers watershed is emerging as an environmental issue of global importance--a key piece of the boreal region. The boreal forest is like a green banner draped around the northern hemisphere. It is the world's largest expanse of intact forest, covering nearly 11 percent of our planet's surface. Every breath we take is in part a gift from this immense, earth-circling ecosystem. Now the renewed Mackenzie Valley pipeline proposal, the Alaska Pipeline and escalating energy and mineral exploration in the north all threaten this last world-scale refuge of natural values--and conservationists around the world are mobilizing to defend it. Three Rivers focuses on one of the most strategic undisturbed regions left in the world, an oceanic wilderness that is under threat from gas and mining development. Packed with awe-inspiring photography, art and writings by such notables as Courtney Milne, Margaret Atwood and John Ralston Saul, this sumptuous volume offers an unforgettable tour of a natural wonderland so rich in grizzly bears, wolves, caribou, peregrine falcons and wildflowers most will have difficulty believing such a place still exists. Three Rivers is a prize to be cherished by anyone who appreciates great photography, fine writing and untrammelled nature, and a must-have for anyone who takes an interest in the fate of our beleaguered but still awe-inspiring planet.

Book Synopsis Wires in the Wilderness by : Bill Miller
Download or read book Wires in the Wilderness written by Bill Miller and published by Heritage House Publishing Co. This book was released on 2004 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the tale of how Canada's high northern wilderness was brought into civilization's fold through a frail network of wires laboriously strung between poles and trees for hundreds of desolate miles. The Yukon Telegraph started in 1897, when gold was discovered in the Yukon and the government needed a faster way to communicate with its remote northern territory. The isolated residents, too, wanted a more reliable connection with the outside world. Bill Miller takes readers from the line's conception in 1899 to its abandonment in 1952 through to its status today and its potential for future generations, focusing on the colourful people who lived and worked in the area. His account, enhanced by extensive research and engaging storytelling, reveals a fascinating fragment of Canada's rich history.
