Why read it?
1 author picked Old Indian Trails of the Canadian Rockies as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

But it also gives a sense of what it is like to explore as a woman and on horseback, two things I cannot claim to have ever done. It is rich with insights into the nature of the land and people. And it is sensitive without being sentimental. Schaffer was a true pioneer and the book gives a sense she would have been good company too.
From Tristan's list on for intelligent travellers.
