Meredith, Copyright © 2005, Inc. | ISBN: 0-595-33964-6 (print) First Place: Outdoor Books, Outdoor Writers of Canada—2006 Communication Awards Time is running out for a teenager searching for his grandfather's lost plane in Northern Canada. Can he trust the intuitions of Trish, the pilot's daughter? In The Search for Grizzly One, Mark Daniels is a sixteen-year-old whose grandfather, along with the pilot of a bush airplane, has disappeared on a fly-in hunting trip somewhere over northern Alberta. After an extensive aerial search turns up nothing, Mark sets out with Trish on their own search. Following a hunch about what might have happened, the pair treks through the Northern Alberta wilderness. The journey tests every fiber of Mark's being, but along the way, he learns much about himself, the wilderness and the unbreakable human spirit. Wildlife writer and biologist Don Meredith vividly describes the rugged terrain and harsh elements Trish and Mark endure on their desperate quest to find their loved ones—before it's too late. "The Search for Grizzly One is a cracking good adventure story set in Canada's North. It was originally intended for young readers, but it contains some of the best writing about northern flying and wilderness life that I have ever encountered. ... Adults, as well as young people, should find reading it a rich and rewarding experience. Highly recommended."— Amazon.ca review "This is an extremely well written story with a very strong plot and beautifully rendered characters."—Writer's Digest Book Awards I have several copies of The Search for Grizzly One available for sale that I would be glad to sign and ship to you for the low price of $15 Cdn/US.

Meredith copyright © 2004 Second edition (2004) | Authors Choice Press | ISBN: 0-595-33231-5 Winner: 1990 Writers Guild of Alberta Award for Excellence in Children's Literature Jim is fighting for his own survival and for the survival of his dogs. He has entered a gruelling three-day race to win the money he needs to keep his team together. Pushed to the limits of his endurance, he is tempted to win at all costs. Only when disaster strikes does he realize the price may be too high. In this powerful first novel, author Don Meredith combines the mystic world of native legend with the harsh realities of survival to create a compelling tale of adventure and coming of age in the stark landscape of the North. Jim Redcrow is a Métis teenager who helps his father and uncle run a trapline in northern Alberta. As part of his duties, Jim maintains the family dog team that is used to haul supplies to and from the trapline. This chapter opens at the end of a very rough day for Jim. After all but losing a fight with a school yard bully, he comes home to find his father selling part of his dog team. After breaking up the sale, Jim learns from his father that they can no longer afford to keep the dogs. It is all too much for one day . . . Canadian Book Review Annual, 1989. "Throughout this well-written adventure story, Native legends are skilfully interwoven, and Jim's relationship with his dogs is poignantly portrayed." Calgary Herald, 1989. "Each of the dogs has a distinct, believable personality, and human and animal interactions ring true to life. Dog Runner is a special book."

Willis Wall rises some 1200 metres (4000 feet) above the Carbon Glacier and is topped by ice cliffs coming from Liberty Cap, the third highest summit on The Mountain. Constant rock and ice fall make Willis Wall the most difficult and dangerous climbing route on Rainier. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593737415787-896XQ379W9QCOSD032JS/1967+Meredith-MarciaHamann-WinnErickson-WindyGap.jpg Photo Galleries - Mount Rainier—The Park Slide 37 — Marcia Hamann and Winn Erickson hiking on Windy Gap. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593737446206-3P5J20W7YW7SG37ZHBAG/1967+Meredith-MtSluiskin-fromPacktrainRidge.jpg Photo Galleries - Mount Rainier—The Park Slide 38 — Sluiskin Mountain from Packtrain Ridge.

It's unique design of high wings without struts, large viewing windows and twin engines, combined with its STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing) capabilities, made it an ideal Arctic survey aircraft. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593804240876-J4QQLBDN6T3DT8M202RZ/1975+Meredith-DavidNanook-Don-WrottsleyRiverCamp.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 24 — David Nanook (left) and I at our Wrottesley River Valley Camp on the Boothia Peninsula. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593804709753-B8AEKETX3FEE5FSMR3G3/1975+Meredith-Mapsuk-snowtype-2.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 31 — Mapsuq only appears in the spring when warm winds cut into the dense snow pack and carve out these blocks from the various layers. Mapsuq is very hard, difficult to travel over and generally avoided where possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593804719846-YA9FMMME2UADXTAXPKXN/1975+Meredith-Mapsuk-snowtype-1.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 32 — Mapsuq close up.

This allowed me to get perspective on the valley and David could show me where we needed to go to find caribou. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593804930945-PC1E2AIIMTG2C35KF073/1975+Meredith-DavidNanook-cuttingIce-3.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 35 — Soon we had several blocks of ice we loaded on the komatik and hauled to camp. We melted it on our cook stove and stored the remainder in a snowbank. In those days, it would have been hard to find more pristine water than what we had there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593805276367-BBS01W1PA1GRG6Y5AF1L/1975+Meredith-DavidNanook-IglooBdg-3.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 38 — An igloo is built in a continuous row of blocks that spirals up. Each block is shaped to fit the previous block and the one below. Note David's traditional parka made from caribou hide with the hair side in. The parka is a pullover. No buttons or zippers. Caribou hide is very warm. Indeed, we slept in the tent or igloo in modern sleeping bags on top of layers of caribou hide that David provided. The hide insulated us from the cold coming from the ground. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593806365001-2T87AUUJX4I3XPWZ99F1/1976+Meredith-LGL-MarineTeam-3.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 48 — We used Zodiac inflatable boats to set nets in other locations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593803006367-STT2WP0CLIG25OTFZ71S/1974+Meredith-Dornier-BobWooley-LyleDorey.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 5 — Bob Wooley and Lyle Dorey (l-r) in the rear observer positions in the Dornier. Yes, Lyle was cold in this photo. For safety reasons, the airplane heaters were not turned on until it was airborne. Once airborne, the cabin heated up quickly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593804271015-9BQW6NFID0OLDM9T5I7Z/1975+Meredith-ViewWest-WrottsleyRiverCamp.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 26 — Looking west from our camp at the valley edges. We tried to drive our snowmobiles up that valley to see the coast but they bogged down in some very thick but deep snow that had accumulated there over the winter. The valley however was covered in much harder and denser snow that was wind-blown. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593805337783-NVQZNPGU5P0MG4BQVLLT/1975+Meredith-DavidNanook-IglooBdg-4.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 39 — David lifting a block up into the spiral. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593806424576-R366XB9AN3159GY4BLXM/1976+Meredith-LGL-MarineTeam-4.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 49 — Open water can be deceiving and dangerous in Arctic waters. The wind can quickly push the ice floes together and form barriers to your return. So, we had to keep a lookout for what the wind and ice floes were doing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593803023664-Z9AVLGPPXQ9BL4KH18AC/1974+Meredith-BoothiaPeninsula.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 6 — The Boothia Peninsula, northernmost point in continental North America. Arctic landscapes are stark and finding caribou or muskoxen to count was challenging. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593804325912-NP7ILCSL9N28O3DFURP9/1975+Meredith-WrottsleyRiverCamp-3.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 27 — Our camp was laid out to keep polar bears away from our sleeping tent (left). We cooked and lived in the frame tent (centre) with the oil stove. Our meat cache is barely visible in the distance behind the sleeping tent. If a bear would come to camp, it would be attracted to the meat cache or the cooking tent. Luckily no bear ever came during our stay there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593805355794-SSZFQG42EDX1K6GGVWHL/1975+Meredith-DavidNanook-IglooBdg-5.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 40 — David shaping the blocks to fit the one below and the one before. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593806455097-6LXPA8UTAMDB4C9FJCSE/1976+Meredith-LGL-MarineTeam-seal-2.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 50 — Not all wildlife were in the water.

You can see how easily these animals blend into their environment, making them difficult to see and count from the air. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593804345535-86VCHXTEZ0SPBVYZ279V/1975+Meredith-Dornier-Camp.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 28 — Every once in a while, the Dornier would pay us a visit and bring us supplies and mail. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593805368493-IMBT9U98O1W9UUK8YMCO/1975+Meredith-Igloo-finished-NEBoothiaCamp.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 41 — David finished as the sun set. Note the flat top of the igloo. David did not dome over the top in the traditional manner because 1) it was late spring and temperatures were comparatively mild and 2) we would be cooking inside with a gas stove, creating much heat and threatening the collapse of a snow block ceiling. So, to top off the igloo we tied a canvas tarp on top to act as a roof. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593803188939-Y2XDHHHL7IB99TWVMSSR/1974+Meredith-Muskox-2.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 8 — Muskoxen were much easier to see from the air, but they were few and far between. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593804367034-KRJ3IF68EISU2BRPWEML/1975+Meredith-WrottsleyRiverCamp-2.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 29 — Weather in the Arctic is always an issue. There are no trees or shrubs to break the wind. Hence our main tent had an interior frame and two layers of canvas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593805413240-CL7RQRXOYXOWW2IGDR10/1975+Meredith-Sunset-NEBoothia-IglooCamp.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 42 - Sunset as we entered the short spring night. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593803243702-PEYL92QUPUO9LS9OMZWI/1974+Meredith-Muskox-1.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 9 — A closer look at a muskox on Cornwallis Island. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593805425140-24HDZKUJ8JTJLL0SOI0Q/1975+Meredith-Igloo-NEBoothiaCamp.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 43 — At about 2 a.m. that night, David aroused me from a deep sleep to say we had to get up because the wind had blown the tarp off the igloo. As snow fell through the open hole, we scrambled to get our clothes on and exit the igloo to find the tarp hanging on by only one rope. We quickly gathered up the tarp and with some effort pulled it over the igloo and tied it down to just about anything that would hold it down, including fuel drums and snowmobiles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593803250614-UTI3WPF73VUFZAWYPRDJ/1974+Meredith-SpenceBay.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 10 — View from the air of the Inuit village of Spence Bay (now Taloyoak) on the Boothia Peninsula. The large cleared area was the construction site of a new school being built in 1974 by Poole Construction Ltd. (now PCL) of Edmonton. Spence Bay was the base we used to fly surveys in the southern High Arctic, and we stayed at the Poole Construction camp. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593805443396-CEVXS6CL81CUDG0K8DHB/1975+Meredith-CaribouCowCalf.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 44 — We did find the calving ground and I was able to record mothers with their calves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593803318084-WBOBO62ZZRS2IEWFJUKQ/1974+Meredith-Dornier-Refuel-SpenceBay.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 11 — Refueling the Dornier on the sea-ice landing strip at Spence Bay. Fuel was pumped by hand from 45 Imp. gallon (205 litre) drums. Pilot Jack Bergeron oversees from the wing. Lorne Fisher pumps the fuel while Dave Wooley looks on.

The caches were placed earlier that year in anticipation of the surveys. We flew surveys covering the islands from Ellesmere Island south to the Boothia Peninsula. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593803387823-JJ29OH3O6W9V82SPD9SD/1974+Meredith-MidnightSun.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 14 — The Midnight Sun from the air over Lancaster Sound. Because the weather could be problematic and the seasons so short, we took advantage of the continuous daylight and often flew through the early hours of the morning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593803436405-DEFSTH39877PM2WXKM2G/1974+Meredith-Seals-nearGrinnellPen-2.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 15 — In the spring (when the sun begins to dominate the sky), seals pull themselves up on the ice (gathering near cracks for easy escape into the water) to sleep in the sun and live off the fat they have accumulated over the winter. It is also a prime time for polar bears to hunt them. Note the bloody spot along the crack in the upper portion of the photograph. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593803449273-SBTORX8TV7G0NQFLGBXY/1974+Meredith-Camp-BoothiaPen-1.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 16 — We didn't spend all the time flying surveys. Later in the summer we set out camps to investigate caribou and muskox habitat. Here is our camp at Sanagak Lake on the Boothia Peninsula. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593803463484-2S9TQ35U98F6EMHIEVC4/1974+Meredith-Camp-BoothiaPen-5.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 17 — Twin Otters, out of Resolute Bay, were used to set out our camps. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593803528521-HM2B0K9TQB41LU9SCDRC/1974+Meredith-Camp-BoothiaPen-2.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 18 — A helicopter took us to survey sites. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593803547107-HRFTPFEF4AIAO8FI3XNU/1974+Meredith-BullPearyCaribou-SomersetIsl.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 19 — A bull Peary caribou near our camp on Somerset Island. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593803561039-WWXUW90RE7ON5I22VLSZ/1974+Meredith-CaribouRange-CapeManson-BoothiaPen.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593803612815-SQKVWWAN2LAT92NNICHI/1974+Meredith-ArcticFox-DolphinRCamp-SomersetIsl.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 21 — Arctic fox would often enter our camps, seemingly unafraid of our presence. They are about the size of a large house cat and looked for whatever food we might have exposed. We had to be careful around them because they were known to carry rabies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593803623255-HNY622CJP16ESAJ7A23W/1974+Meredith-WillowPtarmigan.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 22 — A pair of Willow Ptarmigan. A very hardy bird that stays in the Arctic all year-round. They depend on their camouflage to protect them from predators. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593802176592-XX0UTUEB44Z2TBP4T6V6/1974+Meredith-ResoluteBay-Airport-FinalApproach-1.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 1 — Resolute from the air, May 1974 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593802390196-MTYDJUDTFWDH6SP3EQB7/ArcticMap.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 2 — Canada is a big country (second only to Russia in size) and the Arctic is a big portion of the country. Resolute is 2500 kilometres (1550 miles) from Edmonton.

His job, besides guiding me to where he knew caribou calving grounds to be, was to make sure this Kabloona didn't kill himself. I learned a lot from him. Here he stands with the skull of a bull caribou we found near camp. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593804588859-NU2BEKV10XS7G2IVBPTI/1975+Meredith-DepthHoar-Pukak-snowtype.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 30 — This is Pukaq, the crystalization of snow near the soil, where heat from the earth changes the crystals. If thick enough, this layer can prevent animals from smelling the plants (food) underneath. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593804841967-JAHDKZQQTJ6K96NTGIXB/1975+Meredith-DavidNanook-cuttingIce-1.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 33 — In the deep cold, ice fractures easily with the blow of an axe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593805075275-3PLZ4B63VZ00ZDG3UQO0/1975+Meredith-DavidNanook-IglooBdg-1.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 36 — David starting to cut the snow blocks. He used both his traditional snow knife, stuck in the snow on the left, and the modern snow knife/saw in our arctic survival kit (supplied by Polar Gas). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593806069633-CKT3JNXZND905SCY5KYO/1974+Meredith-ResoluteBay-Airport-DC3.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 45 — A DC-3 at Resolute Bay, not unlike the one I flew from Calgary to Resolute during the PWA strike in 1976. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593806223859-MEWL39OARWPAZDC4OT9D/1976+Meredith-LGL-MarineTeam-1.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 46 — LGL hired this helicopter to take the marine crew to locations on the sea ice along Lancaster Sound. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593806530337-0C6ZWZEHRFX2FG9RAAF1/1976+Meredith-LGL-FranklinExpGraves-BeecheyIsl-1.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 51 — In 1976, we visited Beechey Island as part of our marine surveys. Although I had read about the Franklin expedition before I came to the Arctic, I had forgotten the significance of this island to Canadian history. Upon seeing these graves, we all soon realized what we had stumbled across. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593806680719-88WQ0SAY4KB6M4YJED1T/1976+Meredith-LGL-FranklinExpGraves-BeecheyIsl-2.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 52 — I later learned from Frozen in Time (1987, Owen Beattie and John Geiger) the names of the occupants of the graves. From left to right, the graves and original markers of Royal Marine Private William Braine and Able Seaman John Hartnell both of HMS Erebus, and Petty Officer John Torrington of HMS Terror. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593806877256-E9VOU27704BY0L0B1T0U/1976+Meredith-LGL-FranklinExpGraves-BeecheyIsl-JohnHartnell.jpg Photo Galleries - Images of the Canadian Arctic 1974-1976 Slide 53 — The grave marker of 25-year-old John Hartnell, who died on January 4, 1846. His was one of the graves exhumed by Owen Beattie in 1984 to determine the sailors' cause of death. Beattie concluded that pneumonia and lead poisoning may have played a role in these deaths. However, subsequent studies determined that although lead levels were high in these men (as they were for people back home in England), they were likely not the main cause of death. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecd55346fe673455353c0aa/1593807055165-BK31P27G2EEBVMONTKWV/1976+Meredith-ResoluteBay.jpg Photo Galleries -
