Bindings sound, plates clean and bright. Hind's exploration of the country between Lake Superior and the Rocky Mountains was prompted by the need for a land access to the gold fields of British Columbia, as well as the possible establishment of a railway route to the Pacific Coast. His narrative provides a wealth of information about customs, beliefs, and condition of the native peoples. Sabin (31934) notes that he "lived almost constantly among the Crees and Chippeways, whose habits and peculiarities he was most eager to study, and prompt to record."
