Book description
Along the Trail in Algonquin Park has delighted thousands of readers
across Canada and the United States from the time of its first
publication in the summer of 1980. This is the fourth reprint of the
classic work by the late legendary outdoorsman, Ralph Bice of Kearney,
Ontario. The writing is vintage Ralph Bice; a combination of
unequalled park knowledge, remarkable outdoor adventures and
delightful rustic humour.
Along the Trail was originally to have been titled "Forty Years
in Algonquin Park," but by the time the book appeared, the
author's lifelong love affair with the park had exceeded eighty. In
1993, the time of Algonquin Park's centennial, the "Grand Old Man
of Algonquin" had entered his 94th year. He was to continue to
live nearby his beloved park until his passing in 1997. Remembered not
only for his writings, Ralph Bice is honoured by a fitting memorial to
"Mister Algonquin" as Algonquin Park visitors will now
discover when they enter the west side of the park. For here the lake
he favoured over all others, Butt Lake, has been renamed Ralph Bice Lake.
