Pursuit in the Wilderness

London: Jarrolds Publishers Ltd. Good in Good dust jacket. 1967. First Edition. Hardcover. 1135140782 . "The author's experiences carried him across three continents: as an ambulance driver, at the age of sixteen, for the British Red Cross in France during World War I; as a jungle manager of elephant camps in India; and as an immigrant to Canada, where he arrived with only thirty-five dollars in his pocket. Almost immediately he joined the R.C.M.P. where he served for thirty-five years, pioneering crime investigation in unsettled lands, rising through the ranks to become Commissioner, and sometimes dealing with cases (such as the Gouzenko affair) which drew international attention. This account of his journey in search of some personal principle of life makes an unusual autobiography rich in contrast and incident." - dust jacket. 343 pages. Black and white photo plates.
