''Mowat has taken the bare bones of regimental history and built around them a magnificent documentary of a Canadian regiment, a story that stirs and shakes and sometimes shames the Canadian reader. The Regiment is the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment, with headquarters in the quiet little Ontario bay town of Picton...This is an infantry regiment and this is a story of infantrymen...Mowat didn't just write from records and memory (he was the battalion's intelligence officer). He went back, in the quiet aftermath of the wreckage of war, and retraced the steps of this regiment of infantry - in Britain, in Sicily, in Italy, in northwest Europe. His masterful handling of the descriptive pieces, of atmosphere bear witness to this research.''

	3.	Mowat, Farley. Illustrated by Charles Geer.  THE CURSE OF THE VIKING GRAVE. Atlantic-Little, Brown, Boston, 1966, first edition. 243 pp, 8vo (8 3/16" H), hard cover in dust jacket. B&w illustrations. Sequel to 'Lost in the Barrens'. "In the fierce Canadian northlands friendship is a bond which joins people of different backgrounds as much for survival as for companionship. Awasin, the Cree Indian boy; Peetyuk, raised in an Eskimo camp; and Jamie, orphaned, living with his uncle, the trapper Angus Macnair, had become loyal friends when Jamie and Awasin were lost in the Barrenlands. They had stumbled upon a cache of Viking relics in an ancient tomb. Now, the three of them waited impatiently for spring and the chance to explore the Barrens and return to the Viking grave. When an epidemic of influenza struck the nearby Chipeweyan Indian camp and hospitalized Angus Macnair, the boys were determined to bring back the valuable Viking relics and use the money from their sale to buy desperately needed supplies. The three boys and Angeline, Awasin's sister, whom they are reluctant to take but cannot leave behind, begin the perilous journey north by dog sled. Forced by the summer thaw to pit their courage and skill against raging white water rapids, they travel by canoe to Hudson Bay. Although their customs and beliefs at times divide them, they settle their differences in mutual respect for the wild and beautiful land, and their dependence on each other." Tiny surface paper loss on one preliminary page - paper stuck to previous page, small light liquid mark at top of page 101/102, light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine. Dust jacket is price clipped, has light edge wear/wrinkling - mainly along top edge, tiny tears at top of spine - archivally taped, very light soiling, light browning -mainly on spine and flap-folds.
