Description
An interesting old book: ‘Driftwood Valley – A Story Of Life in a Canadian Wilderness – With Animal Sketches’ by Theodora C Stanwell-Fletcher and John F Stanwell-Fletcher.
Preface:
….We lived in the Driftwood Valley of North Central British Columbia during the period of 1937-1941…
….J’s backgroud was one of old English public schools; seven years with the British Army in India…nine years in Artic and Sub Artic Canada….
….The chapters that follow, which are made of my diary, are the story of the wilderness and our relationship with it…
….Yet the fact that we lived in the wilderness just as the Indians did, subsisted on it almost entirely, used the same modes of travelling and camping in all seasons, perhaps afforded us a rather different type of insight into their characters…
