In 1955, five men in their early twenties set off with 36-year-old Art Moffatt
on a canoe trip through Canada’s arctic.
The group was unprepared for the cold. They ran out of food and winter closed
in. Then the group went over a waterfall and the leader, Art Moffatt, died of
hypothermia.
One of the young men on the trip, George Grinnell, has worked on his account
of the journey for fifty years.
A Death on the Barrens is a powerful book of survival and awakening—a
physical and spiritual odyssey.
Originally published in 1996, this revised Heron Dance Press edition contains
the black and white watercolors of Roderick MacIver.
188 pages, softcover.
