Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
In 1861, Henry Hind led a two-month long canoe expedition of the
Moisie River, Quebecs longest river, from Sept-Iles to the
Ashuanipi River in Labrador. This classic book provides a unique
glimpse of the raw natural beauty of the land and wildlife, and a
highly empathetic description of the aboriginal peoples he
encountered and worked with. Hind also writes about the fisheries
and seal hunts of Newfoundland, Labrador, and Quebec. He pays
particular attention to the spiritual life of both aboriginals and
settlers in communities throughout Labrador, Quebec and
Newfoundlands southwest coast.
