The Last Three Hundred Miles: Murder, mayhem and Bukwas resign in this novel about the building of the Collins Telegraph Line in the 1860's. Surveyor Stephen Doyle is hired to find the best route and map it through the majestic wilds of northern BC.

Along the way, his partner is murdered; he is befriended by the mythical Bukwas and nearly dies as the result of lonely accidents far from the comforts of civilization.

Historically accurate, The Last 300 Miles captures one of the last great adventures of European exploration of the Northwest. Even to this day, bits of the old telegraph line lie in the tangled underbrush to be discovered by hikers and backpackers. The romance of the time is caught up in place names like Telegraph Creek and Bulkley Valley.

G. Stewart Nash is no stranger to the territory; he lived and surveyed there for many years. Presently living in Montana, he still pines for the northern forests and the lifestyle of northern British Columbia.
