Jack London fans may enjoy Joyce Derenas’ “The Long Shot: A French Canadian Saga.” The Worcester author’s nonfiction narrative is about two brothers who traveled to the Yukon gold mines, mostly on foot. It’s the story of Nazaire Poulin of Quebec, who loses his wife, his livelihood and his children. With his brother Raoul (the author’s grandfather), he makes a dangerous journey across Canada and up to the Yukon in 1907. There, he hopes to earn enough gold to reclaim his children. Rich with detail about the Northwest and the times, the book reveals much about the native tribes and travelers of an era long past. (Full disclosure: I edited this book.) Available through amazon.com and independent bookstores.
