Cradled in Canada’s geographic centre, Manitoba is home to serene stretches of wilderness interspersed with charming rural communities and rich pockets of outdoor recreation opportunity. Over half of the province’s population lives in the capital city of Winnipeg, leaving the rest of Manitoba wide-open for exploring. In the south, the landscape is a diverse mix of tall grass prairie, pine forest and even desert-like sand dunes. As you move north you will encounter the majestic rock of the Canadian Shield and, further north still, a strip of Arctic tundra along Hudson Bay. Throughout the province, lakes of all shapes and sizes dot the landscape, creating an incredible abundance of fishing opportunities.

ISBN: 9781989092415

Seeking fortune & adventure, two young German Canadians, Art and Ernie Barz, were down to their last dollars when they reached Dawson City in 1937. A year later, aided by some of Yukon's leading citizens, the Barz brothers chartered four plane-loads of huskies, equipment, and supplies to the Territory's remote Bonnet Plume region. Seeking to avoid the expensive non-resident trapper's licence fees, the brothers convinced the authorities that they were miners. Instead, they set up one of the largest clandestine fur-trapping operation in the Canadian north. In time, they became legal trappers and ran Chappie's Trading Post near the confluence of the Bonnet Plume and Peel Rivers. During their five years in Yukon, they met some of the Territory's larger-than-life characters, and explored its vast, pristine wilderness. Yukon Wanderlust weaves the Barz brothers' stories, their photographs, and related historical events into a fascinating chronicle of a vibrant, yet overlooked period of Yukon history.
