Author: Tyrrell, J. W. Title: Across the Sub-Arctics of Canada: A Journey of 3200 Miles by Canoe and Snowshoe through the Hudson Bay Region Year: 1897 Publisher: Toronto: W. Briggs Pages: 305 Source: Google Books Description: A popular account of an exploratory trip in 1893 from Ft. McMurray to Fond du Lac, across the Chipman portages from Black Lake to Selwyn Lake, down the Dubawnt River to it's junction with the Thelon, and on to Hudson Bay and Fort Churchill. "The above and a hundred and one other preparations have been completed, my brother and I bade farewell to our homes, and on the 16th of May boarded the North Bay evening express at Toronto. The journey was not begun without the stirring of tender emotions, for to me it meant separation, how long I knew not, from my young wife and baby boy five months old, and to my brother it meant separation from one too sacred in his eyes to mention here" (1897:12).
