About the Book

People go misty-eyed when they speak about the Queen Charlottes, those distant islands in the Pacific within sight of Alaska that are miraculously temperate and see little snow. This is the land of the Haida, "the Vikings of the West Coast", and Houston takes us on a tour of the islands with their unforgettable forests, Guinness-black pools, hot springs, many totem poles, and thundering seascapes. Houston rejoices that he has found the perfect place, a summer cabin place where he can indulge in his love of fly-fishing on a river that flows a mere 20 feet from his window.
