Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Hudson Bay: Or, Everyday Life in the Wilds of North America, During Six Years Residence in the Territories of the Hon. Hudson Bay Company In publishing the present work, the Author rests his hopes of its favorable reception chiefly upon the fact that its subject is comparatively new. Although touched upon by other writers in narratives of Arctic discovery, and in works of general information, the very nature of those publications prohibited a lengthened or minute description of that every-day life, whose delineation is the chief aim of the following pages. The illustrative wood-cuts scattered throughout the volume are from drawings made on the spot, by the Author. He originally intended giving views of eight or ten forts and establishments of the Hudson´s Bay Company, but has thought it better to reduce the number of these, and substitute, for the remainder, representations of scenes and objects which pages of letter-press would often fail in placing correctly before the reader.
