The Barren Ground of Northern Canada, written by Warburton Pike and published in 1917, is a detailed account of Pike's experiences exploring the remote and inhospitable regions of northern Canada. The book is a memoir of sorts, chronicling Pike's travels and adventures as he navigates the harsh terrain and encounters the indigenous people who call the area home. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a specific aspect of Pike's journey. He begins by describing his initial preparations and planning for the trip, including the acquisition of supplies and the hiring of guides and assistants. He then delves into the specifics of his travels, describing the various landscapes and natural features he encounters, such as glaciers, rivers, and mountains. Throughout the book, Pike also provides insight into the culture and way of life of the indigenous people he meets, including the Inuit and the Dene. He describes their customs, beliefs, and traditions, as well as their interactions with the European explorers and traders who had begun to encroach on their territory. Overall, The Barren Ground of Northern Canada is a fascinating and informative account of one man's journey into the heart of a remote and unforgiving landscape. Pike's detailed descriptions of the natural world and the people who inhabit it provide a unique perspective on a part of Canada that remains largely unknown and unexplored to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
