Excerpt from Exploration de la R�gion du Grand Lac des Ours: Fin des Quinze Ans Sous le Cercle Polaire

J 'ai parcouru en tous sens les baies Smith et Keith, la portion m�diane de la baie Basse et l'extr�mit� occidentale de celle de Mac - View. Quant � l'est du Grand Lac des Ours, je n'ai pu le visiter; mais, comme la carte de Kendall laisse �galement en blanc cette partie orientale du grand bassin arctique, j'ai rempli ce vide au moyen du trac� que m'en fournirent, pour le compl�ter, des Indiens n�s sur les lieux et qui y chassent chaque �t�. Les D�n� sont tr�s ferr�s sur la g�ographie de leur pays.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a first-hand account of the author's pioneering experiences during eight dangerous expeditions across the uncharted, sub-arctic wilderness of Canada's Great Slave Lake region in the mid-19th century. The author, a French missionary priest, navigated treacherous terrain, encountering indigenous tribes, enduring extreme weather conditions, and facing the constant threat of starvation and attacks by wild animals. Through his detailed descriptions of the region's geography, its peoples, and their customs, the author provides a valuable historical record and a fascinating insight into the challenges and hardships of life in this remote and unforgiving landscape. The book also explores themes of cultural exchange, the impact of European exploration on indigenous communities, and the importance of perseverance and resilience in the face of adversity. A unique and gripping account of adventure and discovery, this book sheds light on a little-known chapter in the history of Arctic exploration.
