Abstract
The book is a testament to three sons’ love for their parents, Ed and Dorothy. Ed and Dorothy were kind and caring people and raised their family with those values. This book is also a testament to a family’s love of community, the community of Banff National Park.I hope when you read this book, you’ll be immersed in a bygone era that includes the Second World, to the backcountry of Canada’s oldest national park. I hope you will see a way of life that can never be recreated in a place that is ever-changing but will always be home to Ed and Dorothy. (Edited down from Our Family Lines website)

Biography
Abstract
Known affectionately to his friends as the King of the Coast Range, John Baldwin has spent his life in a quest to experience the west coast wilderness. Since his teenage years he has explored the rugged Coast Mountain Range, climbing 700 peaks, many of them first ascents, and making perhaps one hundred multi-week, long-distance forays across the icefields and along the ridges of what is one of the last true wilderness areas on earth. Shunning the easy path, John has forged his own way through some of the toughest geography on the planet. He is a mountaineer and explorer of the first order (from Alpine Club of Canada)
