Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the Telegraph Trail is a true story of an outdoor Canadian adventure. In the 1950s, a man in his prime, who was seeing his family responsibilities pile up, created an opportunity to act on a boyhood dream - to trek with simple equipment in the wilderness and survive. After a year of preparation, he and another man, with a similar dream, faced the unknown together on a 400-mile trek that followed the abandoned Telegraph Trail in the wilds of northern British Columbia, before the construction of the Stewart-Cassiar Highway. The two men followed the telegraph line along a narrow route, through an area of varied terrain that included open country, dense bush, river crossings, mountain passes, wild animals, and increasing challenges. Their trek included magnificent scenery, changes in the weather and unexpected developments, taking a total of 7 weeks to reach civilization again. The story is told by the daughter of one of the adventurers, after her father has died. She recreates the story from her dad’s diary, maps, and photographs, complete with imagined dialogue based on the men's characters. Readers can identify with the two men, alone in the wilderness, as they face the challenges of seeking from nature to provide their basic needs of food, water, and shelter. In doing so, they learn some hard lessons about courage, grit, perseverance, self-doubt and friendship, in addition to the value of being prepared for the unknown, as they experience their adventure of following their dreams.

Download or read book Indigenous Legalities Pipeline Viscosities written by Tyler McCreary and published by University of Alberta. This book was released on 2024-03-05 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous Legalities, Pipeline Viscosities examines the relationship between the Wet’suwet’en and hydrocarbon pipeline development, showing how colonial governments and corporations seek to control Indigenous claims and how the Wet'suwet'en resist. Tyler McCreary explores pipeline regulatory review processes, reviews attempts to reconcile Indigeneity with development, and asks fundamental questions about territory and jurisdiction. In the process, he offers historical context for the continuing influences of colonialism on Indigenous peoples. Throughout, McCreary demonstrates how the cyclical movements between resistance and reconciliation are affected by the unequal relations between Indigenous peoples, colonial governments, and development operations. This sophisticated analysis invites readers to consider the complex realities of Indigenous and Wet’suwet’en law, as well as the politics of pipeline development.

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.
