The Wild North Land: The Story of a Winter Journey, With Dogs, Across Northern North America (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Wild North Land: The Story of a Winter Journey, With Dogs, Across Northern North America
People are supposed to have an object in every journey they undertake in this world. A man goes to Africa to look for the Nile, to Rome to see the Coliseum or St. Peter's; and once, I believe, a certain traveller tramped all the way to Jerusalem for the sole purpose of playing ball against the walls of that-city. As this matter of object, then, seems to be a rule with travellers, it may be asked by those who read this book, what object had the writer in undertaking a journey across the snowy wilderness of North America, in win ter and alone? I fear there is no answer to be given to the question, save such as may be found in the motto on the title-page, or in the pages of the book itself.
