N2  - "Snow Shoes and Canoes" by William Henry Giles Kingston is a historical adventure novel written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around the thrilling and perilous journey of a group of fur traders in the Hudson Bay Territory, led by the narrator and his experienced companion, Sandy McTavish. Their expedition involves transporting essential supplies across daunting terrain, during which they face various challenges, including encounters with wildlife, treacherous weather, and interactions with Indigenous tribes.   At the start of the book, the expedition's urgent nature is established as the narrator, along with Sandy and a couple of other men, sets off from Black Fort to retrieve winter supplies from Fort Ross. The narrative dives into the difficulties they encounter while traveling overland, such as a snowstorm that complicates their journey, a painful horse injury, and a surprising encounter with a pair of would-be horse thieves. The opening portions set a vivid and immersive scene, illustrating the harsh and unpredictable life of a fur trader in the North-West Territory and hinting at the mix of adventure and survival themes that dominate the story.
