Bush Pilot Bowman Book

The Arctic Northwest Territory of Canada, a vast expanse of wilderness that is sparsely populated and abundant in wildlife, is the setting of most of the adventures in this book: the wilderness that saw its first white man in the form of the Voyageurs and Alexander Mackenzie: where the moose, caribou, sheep and bear still roam free: from the ice flows of the Arctic Sea to the bush country of the mighty Mackenzie River and the mountains of the Mackenzie Range, named after the explorer.

The Northwest Territory itself is the size of the U.S. The mighty Mackenzie River in the western part flows 1,500 miles to the Arctic Sea northward from the Great Slave Lake; the mountains of the same name bordering the river for hundreds of miles on the west. The terrain varies from the timbered river hills to tundra and further north Arctic ice flows. A land abundant with fish and game that still die of old age.

These personal encounters listed in the chapters to follow are just a few true-life adventures, which he has experienced over the years. They are all true and many life threatening adventures are a normal year's activities. The ones listed in this book are the high points but many more still remain to be told.
