Advocate for the North Judge John Parker: His Life and Times in the Northwest Territories: Told through the experiences of Judge John Parker this book brings stories of the Indians and Inuit of the Territories, English explorers, the RCMP, religious missions, white settlers, trappers, prospectors and miners. It tells of the Yellowknife Gold Rush (every bit as interesting as the Yukon's) with mines that were bonanzas or fiascos. Accounts of tragic aboriginal murder cases, overblown northern personalities, puzzling habits of reindeer and caribou, as well as fur trade difficulties, chronic native problems and the building of the Arctic metropolis of Inuvik are just part of this fascinating history of a little known part of Canada.
