		Mowat agreed to bend so far as to accept an apology if Vice President George H. Bush flew in Air Force Two to a border crossing in Buffalo, New York.
		The ban was eventually lifted and Mowat was allowed to see his file, which revealed that he was barred due to an old security dossier supplied to the USA by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
		The title of the book is intended to be an amusing reference to another one of his books, dealing with his discovery of Siberia, a region to which the Soviet Union did not deny him entry when he wanted to go on a lecture tour there, promoting his books and his ideas on the environment.

	CRITIQUE :: Farley: The Life of Farley Mowat by James King
		Mowat has often come under harsh criticism for changing the essential facts of his books even as they are touted as nonfiction.
		King presents Mowat's life as a story in itself, complete with compelling characters such as "the marsh boy," a boyhood friend of Mowat's who lived a virtually wild life in the woods near the family's home.
		Likewise, Mowat's relationship with his father, a stern, demanding man whose approval he sought throughout his life, is the stuff of classic drama.

		Farley Mowat was born in the Quinte region 77 years ago.

		Farley surmises the Albans populated the British Isles as early as 2000 B.C., and then went a-sailing in skin-covered boats and discovered the New World 35 centuries before Columbus.

	Farley Mowat, conscience of the North
		At the time of Mowat's visit in 1966, Thrasher and his confreres were hoping to start a cooperative for ''huntin', tradin', and buyin' stuff from outside.'' In a coda to this chapter, Mowat reports, with delight, that ''Joe Thrasher's vision has been largely realized.
		King apparently had Mowat's full cooperation, but that hasn't stopped him from presenting the man's flaws or from dwelling on his tangled relationship with his father, Angus, a librarian with a ''thwarted ambition'' to be a great writer.
		At one point, both Angus and Farley were not only shacking up with women who were not their wives but also conspiring to keep the affairs secret from the injured parties--which meant Farley was siding against his own mother.

		Farley Mowat is different, and is a northern national icon.
		Farley Mowat would be considered a Canadian national treasure just for the frequent kicks he delivers to the American shin and the official enmity he has earned in return.
		Mowat's status as a national hero is probably aided by the number of Canadian towns that can lay claim to him.

	Farley Mowat: Writing the Squib by Jamie Dopp (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Orange does a clear job of tracing the `romantic roots underlying Mowat's ideology' - roots that are to be found in Mowat's childhood love of nature, his profound experiences in the Canadian Army in the Second World War, and his close relationship with his father.
		Mowat's struggle with the meaning of his smallness has a strikingly symbolic resonance: it hints at layers of significance beneath the nature-loving, self-effacing, vulnerable-bombastic, Canadian persona that is Mowat's stock-in-trade.
		Mowat's life and work, as Orange effectively demonstrates, can be nicely summed up as complex attempts to `write' the meaning of `Squib.' One of the many things I admired about Writing the Squib was Orange's honest account of the limits of his own project.

		In Walking on the Land, Mowat returns to the late 1940s and '50s, when he spent time in the Barren Lands of the Arctic with the Ihalmiut, an inland-dwelling Inuit group, whose "unwitting genocide" was the subject of his earlier books, People of the Deer (1952) and The Desperate People (1960).
		What Mowat tells and retells is the story of the white man (priest, trader and government official) and his conquest of the Arctic and its peoples.
		This is why Farley Mowat tells us, again, these stories from what we prefer to think of as the closed book of history.

		Farley Mowat may be a Canadian national treasure, but that hasn't stopped his critics from savaging his credibility.
		In Farley Mowat's case, though, it's hard to argue that the problem was only Canada's national brand of small-town envy.
		In a widely published statement, Mowat excoriated Saturday Night as another National Enquirer and savaged Goddard as a "hired gun" and "despicable." "His piece is stuffed with factual errors," Mowat wrote.

	FARLEY MOWAT: WRITING THE SQUIB (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		It is difficult to write a biography of someone as unusual as Farley Mowat, whose writing includes his life stories and an autobiography.
		Mowat's writing is "subjective non-fiction" and he distinguishes between "fact" and "truth." The general purpose of his work is to educate and reform but his sense of humour adds a great deal of entertainment.
		Orange sums up Mowat as "anti-authoritarian, intensely nationalistic, environmentally aware, and passionately romantic." The title derives from a "squib," which is the fuse used to ignite explosives or witty writing; both meanings are appropriate.

		After his harrowing World War II service, young Mowat went north as an assistant to a highly anal and pedantic scientist whose mission was to kill and embalm as many species as possible in the greater name of science.
		Mowat soon tires of the scientist and befriends Charlie Schweder, the second generation member of the trapping family, and half native.
		Mowat’s descriptions of the rapids are somewhat over the top, in that they seemingly ran most huge ledges and even falls – unlikely – but probably an accurate recollection of what “it felt like” to young Farley.

		Farley Mowat has combined a fine sensitivity for the natural environment with a sharp eye for the details of man's place within it.
		However, as Mowat points out, this was an exceptional group which had survived the extreme rigours of a barren land (known to us simply as The Barrens) for so many generations, only to be felled by contact with the very race which might have provided them with so much assistance.
		Farley Mowat tells how the Ihalmiut people of the Arctic have struggled since their first contact with the white man. This is an enduring reminder to us all of how western civilization remains aloof to the plight of races it has exploited.
