“The author, after four years study of art in Europe, returned to Canada filled with the determination to fulfill an early formed design of executing a series of drawings, of scenes in Indian life. To accomplish this, he traversed, almost alone, the territories of the Red River Settlement; the valley of the Saskatchewan; across the Rocky Mountains, down the Columbia River; the shores of Puget Sound, and Vancouver’s Island. The book is a transcript of his daily journal, thrown into the narrative form; and the beautiful engravings are copies of the labors of his pencil” (Field). Kane travelled west with Sir George Simpson in 1846 and extensively toured Oregon Territory in 1847, returning to Canada the following year. An accomplished artist, his work is now recognized as including some of the most significant illustrations of North American aboriginal life from this period. The handsome lithographic plates add luster to the book. The map illustrates Kane’s route through the Hudson Bay territory.
