An Exploration of the Tazin and Taltson Rivers, North West Territories (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Explore a remote northern crossing and the science behind it
In Tazin and Taltson: A Northern River Journey, Charles Camsell recalls a summer 1914 expedition across a little-explored arc from Lake Athabasca to Great Slave Lake. The book traces travel routes, maps, and the landscape as the crew records geography, topography, geology, and natural history. It reads like a field diary that blends adventure with careful observation.
The narrative follows a canoe traverse, the challenges of river travel, and the way a team works together to collect data in a harsh, beautiful region. You’ll see how survey methods, portages, and river descents shaped their understanding of a vast, largely unknown area.
- Clear, practical notes on travel routes and river navigation in a northern landscape
- Descriptions of rocks, glacial features, and geological observations in the field
- Accounts of how the expedition measured distances, elevations, and latitudes
- Insights into the people, places, and natural history encountered along the way
Ideal for readers of exploration history, Canadian geography, and early 20th-century fieldwork.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a captivating chronicle of an expedition undertaken in 1914 to explore the uncharted territory between Lake Athabaska and Great Slave Lake in Canadaââ â¢s Northwest Territories. The author recounts a journey through a rugged and sparsely populated landscape, charting the courses of previously unmapped rivers like the Tazin and the Taltson. The book's exploration goes beyond mere geography, delving into the geology of the region, highlighting the presence of ancient Pre-Cambrian rocks and outlining the potential for mineral discoveries. The author meticulously describes the region's topography, emphasizing the impact of glaciation on the landscape, and provides insights into the climate, flora, and fauna, including the indigenous communities that call this area home. The book serves as a fascinating window into a remote and largely unknown part of Canada, echoing the spirit of earlier explorers like Samuel Hearne, whose own journey through this region in the 18th century is discussed in detail. It offers valuable historical context to this remote region, highlighting the challenges faced by early explorers and the remarkable resilience of the Indigenous peoples who have inhabited these lands for generations.
