In 1914 Samuel Prescott Fay and four others traversed 1200 km (745 miles) of the Northern Canadian Rockies on horseback recording wildlife for the US Biological Survey. It took them 5 months to go from Jasper, Alberta to Hudson's Hope. Here, published together for the first time, are Fay's journal, exploration records, and articles he published afterword in Canadian outdoor journals. A stunning selection of high quality photographs from the Jasper-Yellowhead Museum and Archives is included. Helm, an author and medical doctor, and Murtha, a planner at Banff National Park, provide an introduction discussing Fay's route and contributions, including detailed natural history accounts and the naming of Mt. Alexander. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
