"The document here presented is Governor Simpson's own account of his second journey of inspection from Hudson Bay to the Pacific. His first transcontinental journey took place in 1824, and his journal of this voyage has been edited by Frederick Merk, with introduction and notes, under the title Fur Trade and Empire.(Cambridge, Mass. 1931). Simpson"s account of the transcontinental journey of 1828 has never before been published, and is of hardly less interest and importance than the narrative of his earlier journey." Introduction.
