Roll On! Discovering the Wild Stikine River

Roll On! Discovering the Wild Stikine River by Demerjian, Bonnie. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780977679201.

The Stikine River, called the ‘Great River’ by the region’s Tlingit people, cuts through coastal Southeast Alaska and northern British Columbia. Formed eons before the last ice age, the river’s glaciers and snow-capped peaks still bear witness to that remote time. Its waters have freighted aboriginal peoples, Russian fur traders and gold stampeders aboard majestic sternwheelers. Today, the Stikine River enjoys a growing reputation as a world-class paddling destination and an unparalleled scenic wildlife attraction. This is a sweeping look at a pristine wilderness the size of Switzerland. Roll On! Discovering the Wild Stikine River surveys the region’s natural and human history in a panoramic exploration of one of North America’s last untamed rivers.
