Ron Corbett’s non-fiction books span over 25 years of writing about the Canadian outdoors and the people who live and work in it. His first book, The Gatineau (1994), focused on the Gatineau Hills region of Quebec, and the subject matter has stayed close to that territory ever since.
Several of the books deal with traditional outdoor pursuits and the people who practice them. The Last Guide’s Guide and The Last Guide: A Story of Fish and Love both explore the world of wilderness guiding, while One Last River Run and A Grand Adventure cover river and outdoor culture. First Soldiers Down (2012) moves into military history, and The Rideau Canal Then and Now (2020) examines one of Ontario’s most famous waterways. All of these books reflect Corbett’s long career as a journalist based in the Ottawa Valley and his personal connection to the region.
