No Man’s River
No Man’s River by Farley Mowat is about his 1947 summer in Northern Manitoba. He was part of a two man scientific expedition with an American biologist. Mowat had a falling out with the biologist and joined with a local trapper to try to help the starving Indians and Eskimos that were being ignored by the Canadian government. The second half of the book describes their canoeing the Big River (Thlewiaza River) out to Hudson’s Bay.
