Born in Nottingham, Henry Youle Hind (1823 1908) moved to Canada in
1846. He joined the newly formed Canadian Institute in 1849 and
later taught chemistry and geology at Trinity College in Toronto.
In 1857 8, he made a range of observations during two expeditions
to investigate underexplored areas of Canada and their agricultural
and mineral potential to support future settlement. Illustrated
with a number of plates based on photographs, this two-volume work
first appeared in 1860. Intended for a broad readership, the
narrative is regarded as a classic of nineteenth-century
exploration literature, noted especially for its descriptive use of
language and eye for detail. Volume 1 covers the entire Red River
expedition of 1857 and the first part of the 1858 expedition
through parts of the Assiniboine, Saskatchewan and other valleys."
