Includes three black and white photo plates and a fold-out map at the rear. A one-hundred page introduction by R M Patterson is followed by the journal, then an appendix with biographies. The preface explains that…the story of the exploration of the Finlay River has been the subject of much speculation, not all of it t accurate or well-informed. While an official copy of the Journal of Samuel Black's voyage rested in the Company's archives, other copies had become better known. But so much has these copies been divorced from their contexts that not only the authorship of the journal, but, in consequence, the responsibility for the journey had been wrongly attributed. Mr. Patterson, bringing to his task the enthusiasm and the knowledge of one who had himself travelled the same route, has without any doubt put the Journal, the journey, and Samuel Black into their correct relations.'' BINDNG/CONDITION: blue cloth with gilt on the spine; top edge gilt; the spine is faded, otherwise Very Good. appendix, index. 8vo (9.75 inches tall). c (100), 260 pages.
