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 Hearne's narrative is a valuable historical document that continues to captivate audiences with its vivid descriptions and compelling storytelling.

The needed knowledge is supplied by Mr. J. B. Tyrrell and Mr. E. A. Preble, two writers pre-eminently suited for their task by journeys in the regions described by Hearne, on parts of which so few white men have set eyes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Widely recognized as a classic of northern-exploration literature, A Journey to the Northern Ocean is Samuel Hearne's story of his three-year trek to seek a trade route across the Barrens in the Northwest Territories. Hearne was a superb reporter, from his anguished description of the massacre of helpless Eskimos by his Indian companions to his meticulous records of wildlife, flora and Indian manners and customs. As esteemed author Ken McGoogan points out in his foreword: Hearne demonstrated that to thrive in the north, Europeans had to apprentice themselves to the Native peoples who had lived there for centuries-a lesson lost on many who followed. First published in 1795, more than two decades after Hearne had completed his trek, the memoir was originally called A Journey from Prince of Wales's Fort in Hudson's Bay to the Northern Ocean in the years 1769, 1770, 1771, and 1772. This Classics West edition brings a crucial piece of Canadian history back into print.

Originally published in 1980, 'and some brought flowers' partners 70 stunning full-colour watercolours of plants discovered by early travelers to North America with numerous excerpts from the writings of early explorers and settlers. Arranged in alphabetical order (from "Ash" to "Wintergreen") each entry is accompanied by botanical descriptions and historical quotations describing the plants and reflecting on their uses, both practical and aesthetic. The result is a fascinating history of North American gardening customs, of the professional botanists traveling along the paths of the pioneers and of the settlers who responded with both astonishment and practical common sense to the rich variety of plant species they saw before them. Contributors include Jacques Cartier, Samuel de Champlain, Louis Hbert, Alexander Henry, John Franklin, Elizabeth Posthuma Simcoe, and Catherine Parr Traill.
