Patrick White is a British Columbia journalist whose interest in the north dates back to his early childhood when the old Arctic traveler Bill White (no relation) used to visit Patrick’s family and recount his riveting tales of chasing Arctic murderers across the frozen tundra. Later, while taking a course in Arctic history at the University of Victoria, Patrick discovered an aural archive of Bill’s Arctic experiences. He was struck again by the originality, authenticity and historical value of Bill’s account and resolved to get it down on paper. Mountie in Mukluks is his first book.

Almost everyone knows who Bill White is, though they may not know his name. Bill is the red-coated, dog-sledding Mountie who always gets his man. At least that’s how it seems at first glance. |
