George Cartwright (1739 1819) was a soldier, trader and explorer
who spent sixteen years travelling and working in Labrador in
northern Canada. In 1754, he entered the Royal Military Academy at
Woolwich in London before taking up a commission in the Indian
army. In 1760, he served in the Seven Years' War, returning to
England with the rank of Captain. After his army career, he turned
to exploration and set himself up as a trader along the Labrador
coast of Canada, making six expeditions from 1770 86 between Cape
St Charles and Hamilton Inlet. Published in 1792, this is the
second book in a three-volume work that recounts the author's
adventures along the Labrador coast, vividly portraying the land
and the culture of the indigenous peoples. This volume covers
Cartwright's third and fourth expeditions, between 1773 and 1779.
Each volume also includes a glossary of unusual terms.
