“The Good Walk: Creating New Paths on Traditional Prairie Trails” by Matthew R Anderson.
A motley group’s long trek across the prairies, witnessing the land, reflecting on the past, and creating new paths for the future.
Equal parts memoir, travelogue, and manifesto, The Good Walk recounts the adventures of settler and Indigenous ramblers who together retrace the earliest historical trails and pathways of the prairies. Readers will share the experience of trekking thousands of kilometres on swollen feet along the Traders’ Road, the Battleford Trail, and the Frenchman Trail – prairie paths that haven’t been trod for over a century.
Purchase from Prairie Wind & Silver Sage – a great little bookstore in Southwest Saskatchewan.
