Samuel Hearne's 'A Journey from Prince of Wales's Fort in Hudson's Bay to the Northern Ocean' is a remarkable travel narrative that chronicles Hearne's expedition to discover a trade route to the Arctic Ocean. Written in a straightforward and detailed style, the book provides a vivid account of Hearne's encounters with Indigenous peoples, wildlife, and the harsh environment of the Canadian North. Hearne's observations of the landscape and his interactions with the Dene people offer valuable insights into the history and culture of the region during the 18th century. This book stands out as a significant early example of Canadian exploration literature. Samuel Hearne, a Hudson's Bay Company employee and experienced explorer, was uniquely positioned to undertake this challenging journey. His keen observational skills and understanding of Indigenous traditions make his narrative both informative and engaging. Hearne's firsthand account of his travels reflects his deep respect for the land and its inhabitants. I highly recommend 'A Journey from Prince of Wales's Fort in Hudson's Bay to the Northern Ocean' to readers interested in early Canadian exploration, Indigenous cultures, and tales of adventure in the Arctic wilderness. Hearne's narrative is a valuable historical document that continues to captivate audiences with its vivid descriptions and compelling storytelling.

First Crossing recounts an adventure of epic proportions -- in equal parts romantic, historically significant and compelling. It is the story of Canada's most famous explorer, Alexander Mackenzie, who in 1793 became the first person to cross the continent of North America north of Mexico. With a mix of wonderfully readable text, historical and contemporary photographs, and archival maps and illustrations, here is fresh insight into what drove Mackenzie to undertake his dramatic and dangerous quest for the Pacific Ocean, and how his daring secured Canada's legacy.
