Lands Forlorn documents a 1911-1912 expedition to Great Bear Lake
and the lower Coppermine River to search for copper deposits. The
three-man exploration party was led by George M. Douglas and
included his brother, Lionel, a master seaman, and Dr. August
Sandburg, a geologist. They tracked a York boat up the
rapids-filled Great Bear River to Great Bear Lake, then sailed
across the stormy lake to the northeasterly corner at the mouth of
the Dease River. There, Lionel Douglas built a sturdy cabin for the
winter while George Douglas and August Sandburg canoed, walked, and
portaged up the Dease to the Dismal Lakes and then down the Kendall
River to the Coppermine River. They explored the Coppermine
Mountains during the first season before returning to the cabin. In
the spring of 1912 the Douglas party returned to the Coppermine by
dogsled and foot. The party went to the Coronation Gulf, meeting
some of the Copper Inuit.
