Nahanni: River of Gold...River of Dreams is an exciting look at the mysterious Nahanni River in Canada's Northwest Territories. Although I have never been to the Nahanni, it holds a special place in my heart and Neil and his books have been invaluable to my research on the Nahanni for my most recent fiction novel -- The River.
Thank you, Neil, for all of your help and for helping to paint the picture of a fearsome yet exciting river and a rugged, majestic land of native lore, headless corpses and one of Canada's most sensational landscapes that I one day plan to see for myself.
I also recommend Neil Hartling & Peter Jowett's Nahanni River Guide and of course Neil's company 'Nahanni River Adventures' to anyone who plans to travel there.

The Nahanni River, with its surrounding National Park, is one of Canada's truly great and unspoiled wilderness areas. This book takes us on a narrative journey through the varied and spectacular course of the Nahanni.Perhaps no one knows the Nahanni better than author Neil Hartling. Living in the Yukon and operating adventure tours of the area, he is a wonderful story teller equally concerned with publicizing and protecting this pristine area. This book touches on many disciplines. The geological formation of the area with its canyons and waterfalls is described in detail. The folklore and history as well as environmental concerns for the future are powerfully told. For those interested in sport and adventure canoeing this is a grand story of one of the world's prime and elusive venues. The color photos of the majestic Nahanni landscapes will delight anyone who appreciates natural beauty.
