Trails of a Wilderness Wanderer is an engaging autobiography by Canadian wilderness guide and conservationist Andy Russell. Published in 1971, the book offers a vivid account of his diverse experiences as a cowboy, bronc buster, trapper, guide, outfitter, rancher, and wildlife photographer in the rugged landscapes of Alberta, near the Canadian Rockies.

Through a series of anecdotes, Russell reflects on his adventures, interactions with local Indigenous communities, and encounters with the "remittance men"—British aristocrats who sought a new life in Canada. The narrative captures the challenges and rewards of living in harmony with nature, providing readers with a window into the life of a frontiersman deeply connected to the wilderness.
