Author-M. Allerdale Grainger

Grainger had a gently humorous talent for describing his friends, his much-loved horses, and the simple joys of life in the open air.

He regularly escaped from his Vancouver office in the 1920s and 1930s to camp in the North Cascades. He was among the first to campaign for a provincial park to preserve this beautiful and rugged region, now mostly Manning Park.

M. Allerdale Grainger is best known for his wonderful book Woodsmen of the West, about life on the B.C. coast at the turn of the century. The articles and letters in Riding the Skyline were never published in his lifetime and remained in the archives for 50 years. They have been edited and arranged by Peter Murray, whose other books include The Vagabond Fleet and Homesteads and Snug Harbours: The Gulf Islands.
