Forgotten Highways Wilderness Journeys Down the Historic Trails of the Canadian Rockies
by Nicky L. Brink and Stephen R. Bown
Modern adventures in the footsteps of the great Rocky Mountain explorers.
Enticed by wilderness and history, Brink and Bown embarked upon a grand journey to explore the history and territory of the original trade and travel routes across the Rocky Mountains. This was the first step in a quest to retrace the pioneering footfalls of David Thompson's 1807 journey across Howse Pass. They also followed the trails of George Simpson, John Palliser and Mary Schaffer. Forgotten Highways is the personal account of the authors' travels, mingled with the tales of the historic pathfinders who preceded them.
