A literary journey that speaks to outdoor aficionados of all kinds – ramblers, walkers and lovers of the great outdoors
Award-winning Alberta writer, journalist and storyteller Bruce Masterman has been a passionate outdoors enthusiast for more than five decades and has explored Alberta’s natural world while fishing, hiking, hunting, snowshoeing, camping or just sitting on an old weathered stump watching the river flow. One Last Cast is a compilation of his writings, some never before published, others drawn from newspapers, magazines and books to which Bruce has contributed. The stories are about place and landscape, intertwined with the rich experiences and people the author encountered along the way
The outdoors is a lifelong passion, not just a hobby.I live and breathe it, and it helps keep me mentally level , as you’ll read in the soul – baring story Into the light
This is not a how- to book . I like to think of its as more of a why- to book. It’s not about how to be a better hiker conservationist, naturalist, hinter of angler, It’s about why these groups of recreationalists do what they do and why the outdoors is so important to so many lives. Hopefully you might gain a clearer appreciation and understanding for wild places along with the critters and people that rely on them to live.
Sense of places plays a major role in all these stories.
