Hearne was a superb reporter  from his anguished description of the massacre of helpless Eskimos by his Indian companions to his meticulous records of wildlife  flora and Indian manners and customs. As esteemed author Ken McGoogan points out in his foreword: Hearne demonstrated that to thrive in the north  Europeans had to apprentice themselves to the Native peoples who had lived there for centuries-a lesson lost on many who followed. First published in 1795  more than two decades after Hearne had completed his trek  the memoir was originally called A Journey from Prince of Waless Fort in Hudsons Bay to the Northern Ocean in the years 1769  1770  1771  and 1772. This Classics West edition brings a crucial piece of Canadian history back into print.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45529539215413,"sku":"ByrdShop_1894898605","price":101.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781894898607.jpg?v=1780936956","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/a-journey-to-the-northern-ocean-the-adventures-of-samuel-hearne-classics-west-9781894898607","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
