In 1912 Ralph Edwards invested his small savings in a trip to a remote section of British Columbia east of Bella Coola. There he pushed on 35 miles beyond civilization, staked a claim and, axe in hand, attacked the virgin forest. The story of his lifelong and victorious battle with raw nature - at first alone, then with a wife, and finally with a wife and three children - shows how a brave family can conquer all obstacles and find contentment and happiness alone in the wilderness." - dust jacket. xviii, 234 pages.
