"Across the Sub-Arctics of Canada" by J. W. Tyrrell is a historical account written in the late 19th century. It chronicles the author's ambitious expedition to explore the largely uncharted territories of Canada’s Barren Lands, embarking on a daunting journey spanning 3,200 miles by canoe and on snowshoes. The book provides insights into the challenges faced by the expedition team, the landscapes they traverse, and the interactions with the Indigenous peoples they encounter along the way. The opening of the book introduces the expedition, detailing preparations leading up to the journey which began in May 1893. Tyrrell sets the stage by outlining the context of their mission: a collaboration with his brother, an official of the Canadian Geological Survey, to investigate the unknown territories north of Athabasca Landing. The narrative discusses the various logistical challenges, including securing durable canoes and assembling a skilled team of canoemen. As they depart from civilization, Tyrrell reflects on the emotional farewells and the pressing desire for exploration that drives the expedition into the wilderness, preparing readers for the adventures and discoveries that lie ahead.
