12mo. pp. 192. full-page map, 4 full-page illus., 2 facsimile letters in text & title illus. cloth. dw. (edges of wrs. rubbed). Second Enlarged Edition, the First Canadian Edition, of Christian s diary recording the ill-fated trapping expedition to the Barren Lands undertaken with his older cousin, John Hornby, and a young companion, Harold Adlard, in 1926-27. Unfortunately they had insufficient food to survive the winter and perished from starvation near the Thelon River, Northwest Territories. Christian, who was the last to die, left the diary published here in the stove of their cabin. Editor Whalley has added a lengthy introduction containing background information on the three men and the text of various letters written by Christian relating to the trip. He has also appended the text of Hornby s will, Christian s last letters to his mother and father, and the RCMP report regarding their investigation.
