"The North-West Passage by Land" by Viscount Milton and W. B. Cheadle is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The narrative chronicles an expedition across North America, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, with the aim of exploring a route to British Columbia via the northern passes of the Rocky Mountains. The authors blend their observations of the landscapes, Indigenous interactions, and the challenges faced during their travels, providing readers with insight into the exploration of this largely uncharted territory at that time. The opening of the narrative sets the scene for the journey, beginning with the authors' departure from Liverpool to Quebec. They describe sailing through rough weather and encountering a diverse group of fellow passengers, each with their own quirks and stories. From Quebec, the explorers travel through notable locations like Niagara and St. Paul, Minnesota, while also engaging in discussions about the ongoing conflicts with Indigenous peoples and the challenges posed by their environment. Milton and Cheadle introduce their companion, Mr. Treemiss, and describe their initial struggles in navigating the American landscape, hinting at the trials that lie ahead as they prepare to embark on their journey into the wilderness.
