PDF Where Once We Walked: A Guide to the Jewish Communities Destroyed in the Holocaust by Gary Mokotoff; Sallyann Amdur Sack; Alexander Sharon in History

Description

Widely recognized as a classic of northern-exploration literature; A Journey to the Northern Ocean is Samuel Hearne's story of his three-year trek to seek a trade route across the Barrens in the Northwest Territories. Hearne was a superb reporter; from his anguished description of the massacre of helpless Eskimos by his Indian companions to his meticulous records of wildlife; flora and Indian manners and customs. As esteemed author Ken McGoogan points out in his foreword: Hearne demonstrated that to thrive in the north; Europeans had to apprentice themselves to the Native peoples who had lived there for centuries-a lesson lost on many who followed. First published in 1795; more than two decades after Hearne had completed his trek; the memoir was originally called A Journey from Prince of Wales's Fort in Hudson's Bay to the Northern Ocean in the years 1769; 1770; 1771; and 1772. This Classics West edition brings a crucial piece of Canadian history back into print.
