This book chronicles Seton’s adventurous six-month canoe journey through the remote wilderness of northern Canada, primarily aimed at observing caribou in their natural habitat. Seton, accompanied by his assistant Edward A. Preble, not only seeks to track caribou but also to record the rich natural history of the region, experiencing both the beauty and the challenges of life in the wild.  The opening of the narrative sets the stage for Seton’s expedition, describing his motivations and the journey's ambitious goals. He expresses a nostalgic yearning for the untamed, wild landscapes of the past while preparing to explore the unspoiled forests and prairies of Canada’s northwestern territories. The chapter introduces readers to his thoughts as they set off from Edmonton, documenting the various wildlife encountered along the way, such as antelope and rabbits, and describing the logistical challenges of their journey including preparation and supply gathering. Seton’s detailed observations reveal his deep appreciation for the natural world, foreshadowing the blend of adventure and scientific inquiry that will characterize the rest of the expedition.
