Description

MARY SCHAFFER: ADVENTURES IN THE CANADIAN ROCKIES is a beautifully illustrated story of the inspiring adventures undertaken by Mary Schäffer, whose travels took her through the rugged country between Banff and Jasper to discover Maligne Lake. Schäffer challenged the wilderness during the golden age of discovery in the Canadian Rockies and is remembered today as one of the region’s preeminent adventurers—male or female.
