Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. To the Arctic by Canoe 1819-1821 - The Journal and Paintings of Robert Hood, Midshipman with Franklin; edited by C. Stuart Houston; The Arctic Institute of North America, McGill-Queen s University Press, Montreal and London, 1974. From the blurb The Canadian Arctic is, and always has been, one of the most beautiful but harshest places in the world. The native peoples know and understand it and have come to terms with it. Outsiders going there today have all the advantages of up-to-date knowledge and modern technology to aid them in living and travelling there. Such was not the case, however, in 1819 for a dedicated but ill prepared and ill-equipped group of Englishmen who set out under instructions from the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to seek for the Northwest Passage. They encountered every hardship and hazard during their two-year mission, a mission which culminated, almost invariably, in the loss of many lives. One of those who died was a young midshipman, Robert Hood, who had, in spite of the many dangers and problems that beset the expedition, kept a remarkable and invaluable record, in words and paintings, of the experiences of this, the first Franklin expedition. Hood s journal, less formal and more lively than Franklin s official account, shows his appreciation of the beauty as well as the harshness of his surroundings and an awareness, unusual in his time, of some of the adverse effects on the native peoples and their environment of the coming of Europeans. His paintings are among the finest as well as the earliest records of the animals and birds of Northern Canada.
