Excerpt from A Journey From Prince of Wales's Fort in Hudson's Bay to the Northern Ocean, in the Years 1769, 1770, 1771, and 1772 A new edition has long been needed: Yet to secure com petent editing was a difficult task, since few knew the remote country which Hearne explored. It may be regarded as fortunate that the new edition has been delayed, for only now are we able to present Hearne's story with _the annota tions necessary to give it the last possible elucidation. 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.

(This is a facsimile edition of the book originally publis...)

This is a facsimile edition of the book originally published in 1795. "For all their daring and enterprise, few of the early English fur trade explorers possessed the skill or carried the necessary instruments to report fully their discoveries. It was left to Samuel Hearne, an observant and industrious Hudson's Bay employee, to publish the first comprehensive account of the inhabitants and terrain under the company's control. Two initial attempts to reach the Arctic proved exhausting but fruitless. In 1770, Hearne set forward a third time, accompanied by the capable Indian guide Matonabbee, whose prestige and authority in the region seemed a guarantee of success. The party reached the mouth of the Coppermine River, establishing Hearne as the first European to see the North American Arctic and dissolving the myth of an ocean channel through the continent." (jacket blurb) After much revision, the work appeared in 1795, 3 years after his death.

A Journey to the Northern Ocean: The Adventures of Samuel Hearne (Classics West Collection)

( Widely recognized as a classic of northern-exploration ...)

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.
