About this book
David Pelly tells the Thelons story exploring the mystery of Mans relationship with this special place in the heart of Canadas vast Arctic barrenlands. From Thanadelthur and Telaruk to J.W. Tyrrell John Hornby and Eric Morse the history is detailed complete and exciting. The Thelon is the setting for a compelling Canadian adventure tale with all its drama intrigue joy and tragedy. But the writer goes beyond that to contemplate the significance of the Thelon wilderness and to examine its uncertain future. "It is the richness of human experience layered on top of the natural splendour of the river valley and its wildlife that really sets the Thelon apart. The place has a history both Native and non-Native which gives it standing beyond the intrinsic value of wilderness itself." David Pelly writes as one who has been there time and again. He knows the Thelon from personal experience. As a freelance writer for 20 years he has travelled many parts of the Arctic but claims that "nowhere draws me back more powerfully than the Thelon."
