Beschreibung

In 1887, at the tender age of eighteen, Tappan Adney embarked on this first trip to Canada. He had plans to enroll at Columbia University in the fall, primed for a meteoric rise in academia -- but fate intervened. He fell under the spell of the New Brunswick wilderness and the local Maliseet people.

Nothing escaped his curiosity, Adney embarked on hunting, fishing, and camping trips, recording his wilderness adventures in New Brunswick, Quebec, and Nova Scotia in his journals. Through evocative sketches and memorable prose, Adney chronicled a time very different from our own, including a caribou hunt decades before the species was extirpated from eastern Canada.

Years later, Tappan Adney went on to become a celebrated journalist, photographer, and ethnologist. His models of aboriginal canoes, now in many museum collections, helped save the birchbark canoe from oblivion.

This new, revised edition of the first volume of The Travel Journals of Tappan Adney is a welcome companion to the recently published second volume of Adney"s journals. This edition includes a reproduction of his original sketches as well as a corrected text, recently discovered photographs, and larger type for ease of reading.
