The Editor,
Re: “A river of great books runs through your local library” (A Good Read, The Tri-City News, Dec. 13).
A recent A Good Read column covering books about rivers reminded me of a recently published book on a great rivers theme.
On Dec. 2, the CBC Radio Vancouver weekend morning program, North by Northwest, interviewed Globe and Mail columnist and author Roy MacGregor about his latest book, Original Highways: Travelling the Great Rivers of Canada.
During the interview, Mr. MacGregor remarked that he devoted three years to paddling, sailing and hiking parts of the 16 rivers described in his book, including the Fraser River. With eight pages of photographs and maps, this book is available at local public libraries and book stores.
