8vo 8" - 9" tall; 247 pages; A young man follows in in the footsteps of his great great grandfather, British lord, Viscount Milton who with his friend "set out to travel across what is now Western Canada, through the Rockies to the Cariboo goldfields." Their treacherous journeytook many months ending up in Victoria. Grandad's journey ended in a book called 'The Northwest Journey by Land'. Bond also traveled from Winnipeg "Hitch-hiking and walking across the prairies, searching near Prince Albert for the descendants of the natives who helped Milton and Cheadle survive their first winter, and encountering both grandeur and extreme discomfort on horseback through the mountains, Bond tackles his experience with curiosity, good humour, and a good deal of Miltons own courage."
