'levay' might be the name of the writer (sp?)
It mentions cannabilism in the wild north a few times near the start of the book.
If its the book I'm thinking of, its one of the best books I have ever read. And its also just a condensed version of what he wrote, as his actual diarys were burnt when the shed they were in caught fire.
I will have another look tonight.
No, I don't think so. That specific book, I don't think it was widely published. It was more like a journal of a frontiersman/surveyer. I don't think it was a book meant for entertainment. But there were some other books. Maybe one of them? I just don't know where I put them.
