P122 The Last Wilderness: Carole Harmon

“ I’m working in that part of Canada which stands on end.”

Byron Harmon

What is wild? 

This question underlies Carole Harmon’s inquiry into the role her family played in the colonial history of western North America, specifically the Pacific Northwest in the USA and the Canadian Rockies. 

The Last Wilderness centres on her paternal grandfather, Byron Harmon, who photographed and filmed the Canadian Rockies and adjoining mountain ranges between 1906 and 1934. It delves into family history and introduces some of the remarkable characters with whom he shared a life in this mountain wilderness.
