    4 avril 1899 – 13 janvier 1982

    Sigurd F. Olson était un auteur, environnementaliste et défenseur de la protection de la nature américain. Pendant plus de trente ans, il a servi de guide dans la nature des lacs et des forêts du pays Quetico-Superior, dans le nord du Minnesota et le nord-est de l'Ontario. Il était connu de manière honorifique sous le nom de Bourgeois, un terme que les anciens voyageurs utilisaient pour leurs chefs de confiance. Ses écrits célèbrent la beauté profonde et l'importance vitale du monde naturel.

      Sigurd F. Olson was for more than thirty years a wilderness guide in the Quetico-Superior country, and no one knew with the same intimacy the mysteries of the lakes and forests of that magnificent primitive area. To the many out-of-doorsmen who canoed and portaged with him through this wilderness, he was known honorifically as the Bourgeois--as the voyageurs of old called their trusted leaders through this same region.

      In Runes of the North Sigurd F. Olson explores the haunting appeal of the wilderness. He recounts how the legends of the northern vastness of Canada and Alaska have influenced him, weaving the tales and myths with his own stories and experiences as an explorer, writer, grandfather, and biologist. Now available in paperback for the first time, Runes of the North is a mystical and reflective guide to the northern wilderness written with a oneness and communion with nature that is unique to Olson's pen. It is a work filled with beauty, wisdom, and renewal.
