Across The Sub-Artics Of Canada: A Journey Of 3,200 Miles By Canoe And Snowshoe Through The Barren Lands (1898) is a travelogue written by James Williams Tyrrell, a Canadian explorer and geologist. The book chronicles his 1893-1894 expedition across the sub-arctic regions of Canada, covering a distance of 3,200 miles by canoe and snowshoe. The journey took Tyrrell through the barren lands of northern Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, and into the Northwest Territories. Along the way, he encountered harsh weather conditions, dangerous rapids, and hostile wildlife. He also interacted with the indigenous people of the region, including the Cree and Dene, and documented their way of life.The book is divided into chapters that cover different parts of the journey, including the start of the expedition in Winnipeg, the crossing of Lake Winnipeg, the ascent of the Hayes River, and the exploration of the Coppermine River. Tyrrell’s writing style is descriptive and detailed, providing a vivid picture of the landscapes, people, and challenges he encountered. Across The Sub-Artics Of Canada is considered a classic of Canadian literature and an important historical document of early exploration in the Canadian north. It provides a unique perspective on the sub-arctic regions of Canada and the challenges faced by early explorers and settlers in this remote and unforgiving landscape.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
