“This edition features the guides but sadly few of their words are recorded and remaining family members remark that their guide-ancestors didn’t talk much about their trips, often just seeing them as another way to support their families in addition to their trapping and fishing incomes. One exception is Uncle John Michelin who loved to talk about his trips through the interior. Previous editions of Them Days have recorded some of his stories and those of others and the reader is encouraged to look for these.” – Max Blake and Liz Dawson, Guest Editors
