Summary
Sid Marty presents a collection of true Rock Mountain tales drawn on his own memories and those of friends and former colleagues. Among his subjects are: the old guide who built a staircase up a cliff; the stranded snowshoer who… was rescued between rounds of beer in a Banff tavern; the man who catered to hungry grizzlies; an opinionated packrat with a gift for larceny; and a horse named Candy whose heart was as big as a stove. 1999.
