Published in 1921, this book recounts the exploration of the Canadian Northwest and the history of the region's fur trade. Drawing heavily on the firsthand accounts of the explorers themselves, the author also enriches the narrative with observations from his own extensive travels and with stories gathered from trappers and gold prospectors. In addition to describing the hardships and achievements of the explorers, the book offers glimpses of Indian life, including buffalo hunts, as well as the daily work and living conditions of the region's trappers. - Summary by Ted Lienhart
