Synopsis

Adventure and natural history unfold across the Yukon frontier. This nonfiction volume presents a firsthand account of hunting, travel, and wild life in the Yukon Territory, told by Charles Sheldon as he traverses by steamship, canoe, and pack-horse in search of sheep and other animals. The narrative blends daily field notes with impressions of the landscape, weather, and camps, offering a vivid portrait of a remote wilderness.

In these pages you’ll find a careful record of exploration, detailing country, scenery, and the practicalities of moving through rugged mountains and rivers. The work also includes notes on animal life and behavior, an emphasis on observation developed during years in Alaska, and photographs with captions that illustrate time and place from the author’s journeys. Appendices and maps accompany the narrative to place the reader at the heart of his routes, camps, and findings.

• Firsthand field journals that capture daily experiences on rivers, mountains, and across rugged terrain.


• Grounded observations of wildlife—sheep, caribou, bears, goats, and more—within their natural habitats.


• Descriptive scenes of carving weather, wilderness country, and the challenges of travel in remote regions.


• Additional materials including photographs, notes, and appendices that frame the exploration.

Ideal for readers who enjoy historical exploration, nature writing, and late–19th to early–20th century wilderness adventures, this edition offers a window into a storied corner of North American natural history and travel.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
