Description:
<p>For author Steve Skafte, <i>This River Was Once a Road</i> represents a decade of incessant adventures—ten years of trawling through old maps and property records, searching for the secrets that Nova Scotia's abandoned roads—all still public rights-of-way, open for all to use—have been keeping from "ordinary folks" like him. </p>
<p>In that time, he's explored countless overgrown fields where he's discovered rock walls, old wells, foundations, and signs of former human habitation. For Skafte, each of these roads inhabits a time and place lost; a track through the wilderness to a place that someone once called home.</p>
<p>Featuring 80 evocative colour images, with GPS coordinates to guide readers to each unique location, and more than 20 deeply poetic tales of discovery, <i>This River Was Once a Road</i> traces the paths of our past to reveal the places we've left behind.</p><p>For author Steve Skafte, <i>This River Was Once a Road</i> represents a decade of incessant adventures—ten years of trawling through old maps and property records, searching for the secrets that Nova Scotia's abandoned roads—all still public rights-of-way, open for all to use—have been keeping from "ordinary folks" like him. </p>
