'Adam Weymouth takes his place beside the great travel writers' Susan Hill
A captivating, lyrical account of an epic voyage by canoe down the Yukon River.
TheYukon River is almost 2,000 miles long, flowing through Canada andAlaska to the Bering Sea. Setting out to explore one of the mostruggedly beautiful and remote regions of North America, Adam Weymouthjourneyed by canoe on a four-month odyssey through this untrammelledwilderness, encountering the people who have lived there forgenerations. The Yukon's inhabitants have long depended on the kingsalmon who each year migrate the entire river to reach their spawninggrounds. Now the salmon numbers have dwindled, and the encroachment ofthe modern world has changed the way of life on the Yukon, perhaps forever.
Weymouth's searing portraits of these people and landscapes offer an elegiac glimpse of a disappearing world. Kings of the Yukon is an extraordinary adventure, told by a powerful new voice.
