The setting is the legendary South Nahanni River in Canada's Northwest Territories-as remote and wild a river as any man could hope for. The Nahanni flows through a land of unsurpassed beauty and legend-harrowing legend. To access it, you must travel due North across the North American continent until the road is no more, then jump a bush plane for a flight across the infamous Mackenzie Mountains, deep into the wild, to the headwaters of the Nahanni. Once in, there is but one way out-down 300 miles of rampaging river, across mighty Virginia Falls, through Deadmen's Valley, then a succession of three formidable, bottomless canyons, filled wall to wall with treacherous rapids-enough whitewater and danger to satisfy even the most beastly of men. On that river, in the summer of "74"-a man, a boy and an open 16 foot, wood and canvass canoe with 250 miles of bad water between them and homeward bound. Fate would not be kind and near the end of the journey they would find themselves hopelessly trapped in the Lower Canyon without gear or canoe. Only the most unlikely of events could save them-but could they survive long enough for it to happen?

Written with R. M. Patterson’s characteristic sharp wit and observation, this classic tale chronicles the year he spent battling frigid temperatures and wild waters along the Nahanni River in Canada’s Northwest Territories. Patterson originally travelled to the North with hopes of finding gold, and clues to the mysterious disappearance of earlier prospectors. Instead, he fell in love with the landscape, and through his meticulously recorded journals and hauntingly beautiful photographs he introduced the now-famous Nahanni River to the world. Patterson’s bestselling first book is now back in print and ready to take readers down the treacherous and challenging waters of the Nahanni River once again.

The fame of the river Nahanni is today spread throughout the world and it draws many adventurous souls. The author first heard this name a long time ago, still in his birth country of Czech Republic. Yet, in variation to practically all the visitors who are brought to this river's banks by expensive and noisy floatplanes, he chose a different approach: the one that people used to travel during the times of Indigenous Peoples' migrations, discovery explorations and trade throughout Canada; during the era when large birch bark canoes propelled by the paddles of voyageurs transported loads of fur across the almost full width of the continent; during the time when only water bodies and the portage trails connecting them served as arteries, veins and capillaries of travel through Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific. After he immigrated to Canada in 1968, obtained a doctorate in Nuclear Physics from the University of Alberta and raised a family in Edmonton, a window of opportunity for the author's dream expedition finally opened. He wished to reach the beginnings of the South Nahanni River overland, using his own muscle power to transport the canoe and the outfit for a six-week wilderness voyage to the point of launch into the river beckoning him as the only honest way that, in his conscience, harmonized with the spirit and name of the Nahanni. A long portage trek crossing the mountains of the Continental Divide from Yukon to the Northwest Territories of Canada was to connect a chain of rivers, creeks and lakes. It meant carrying all the gear along game trails, through mountain passes and swamps in the valley bottoms. It meant lining the boats upstream, paddling in them wherever possible up and down the current -- all that topped by "Calvaries" with an overturned canoe on the shoulders. Teaming up with his friend and colleague Peter from Vancouver, his girlfriend Milena and cheered on by intimate-contact-seeking crowds of persistent mosquitoes, they successfully accomplished the goal in the summer of 1997. The Canol Road in Yukon, which they used to get close to the Nahanni trek, would later become a gateway to them for more adventures in the beautiful wildland that they had come to call Canol Country.

In the mid-1920s Raymond M. Patterson left a comfortable position with the Bank of England for a life in with wilds of Canada. Here, he hunted, trapped, fished and prospected his way along the rivers he would later write about. This spellbinding book, his most famous account, chronicles his two journeys down the treacherous Nahanni River between the Yukon and the Mackenzie River, spurred on by his irrepressible lust for adventure and his quest for gold. The New Yorker called this "a truly enchanting book."
