Mountains, Mozart, Manacles, Moose and Martinis

Offering incisive commentaries as he recounts hunting trips in his adopted home of British Columbia, Roy Jacques creates a "Cariboo Chilcotin Memoir" from his reminiscences of the beautiful Chilcotin wildernesses, while also introducing us to his family, friends and their stories. Many of these friends played memorable roles in Canadian history as well. Told in his inimitable style of humour laced with wisdom, each chapter informs and entertains the reader as we travel through time and across continents without leaving the comforting beauty of Timothy Meadow, Farwell Canyon and the numerous lakes and rivers that wind through Chilcotin country. Throughout this memoir, the complementary beauties of mountains and Mozart's music, lasting memories of both literal and metaphorical manacles from his POW experience in Nazi Germany, and frequent encounters with both moose and martinis chronicle the insights of "Jax" and the maturation of his son Dan, known as "the Tigger."
