Through the Mackenzie Basin

Embark on a journey through the vast Canadian Northwest with Charles Mair's "Through the Mackenzie Basin: A Narrative of the Athabasca and Peace River Treaty Expedition of 1899." This meticulously prepared edition recounts the expedition's travels through the Athabasca River, Peace River, and Mackenzie River regions of the Northwest Territories.

More than a simple travel narrative, Mair's account offers a valuable glimpse into Canadian history and the complex relationship between the government and the Indigenous peoples of the area at the turn of the century. The book also presents a fascinating study of the birds native to the Northwest, detailing observations of avian life in this remote corner of Canada. Readers interested in Canadian history, travel, and natural history will find this a compelling and insightful read.
