Excerpt from A Little Journey to Northern WildsEver since our earliest schooldays, when we learned in geography of Hudson Bay and in history of how the intrepid explorer Hudson found in it both his monu ment and his grave, most of us, doubtless, have longed to visit the lone places of the North, notably that region in which the trappers and traders of the Hudson's Bay Company still find the precious furs.The very mention of the Hudson's Bay Company seems to make one feel like wandering off and away from the haunts of men. It suggests frozen brooks along whose courses bits of steel mark the trapper's path, stockades in the wilderness, outside which the wolves howl, while within, the Indian and the half breed barter furs for ammunition and guns. And so let us make a journey into the wilds, where not alone the trappers, but sportsmen too, are at work.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
