Drifting Home: A Family's Voyage of Discovery Down the Wild Yukon River

US Books > Biographies & Memoirs > Arts & Literature > Authors

In the 1970s, Pierre Berton and his family recreated the trip down the Yukon made by his father, Francis George Berton, in 1898. This compelling story of the later journey is a valentine from son to father, a magical tale of a family adrift, and a poetic exploration of the region’s rich history. In experiencing this great wilderness, Berton and his family discover their deep connection to nature — and each other.
