Summary: "Down the Mackenzie and Up the Yukon in 1906" by Elihu Stewart is a historical travelogue written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the author's adventurous journey through the largely uncharted sub-arctic regions of Canada, detailing his experiences navigating the Mackenzie River and Yukon River systems. Through his narrative, Stewart offers insights into the landscapes, natural resources, and indigenous cultures he encounters, thus painting a vivid picture of a frontier area rich in both potential and beauty. The opening of the book sets the stage for Stewart's expedition, revealing a narrative grounded in a previous report he submitted to the Canadian government upon his return. He expresses gratitude for the hospitality of those he met along the way, including officials from the Hudson Bay Company and local natives. Beginning with reflections on the explorers of the past, Stewart outlines his plan to travel from Edmonton through the furthest reaches of northern Canada, boldly venturing into what was, at the time, a virtually untouched wilderness. The early chapters detail his preparations, experiences at Athabaska Landing, and encounters with diverse landscapes and challenges, while establishing the context for the larger journey to come.
