Sinopsis

Six Salmon Rivers is not just for anglers. It is a classic of Canadian life&mdash,a luminous account of the author&rsquo,s lifelong love affair with the rivers of New Brunswick and their wilderness landscapes. It is a treasure trove of tales told by old-time guides and real-life stories about backwoods eccentrics, early explorers, and fellow sportsmen. George Frederick Clarke was a man of broad and passionate interests&mdash,writer, archaeologist, environmentalist and lifelong angler. Six Salmon Rivers&mdash,and Another is full of thrilling stories of salmon caught and salmon lost on New Brunswick rivers. But what makes it more than an angling classic is the &ldquo,other river&rdquo, that threads through it. Time and again Clarke puts into words the intangible things that make anglers love their sport: the saltiness of the guides, the camaraderie of the campfire, and above all the sights, scents and sounds of the wilderness&mdash,&ldquo,so interesting, so primitive, so remote from the usual haunts of men.&rdquo, The &ldquo,other river&rdquo, is, in a word, contentment, the deep delight in the flow of time and place that wilderness woods and rivers can impart. &ldquo,A day off is a day gained,&rdquo, says Clarke, his book tells us why. George Frederick Clarke (1883-1974) was the author of thirteen books and dozens of short stories. He lived in Woodstock, NB. Mary Bernard is Clarke&rsquo,s granddaughter and biographer. She is the editor of the George Frederick Clarke Project, which is republishing his books.
