Description:	When the Champlain Society was formed in 1905, this work was placed on the shortlist of proposed publications. "This book, written with great literary charm," stated Society president Sir Edmund Walker in the Preface, "is the first account preserved to us of an attempt to explore the interior of far-northern Canada from a base on Hudson Bay." The book, published after Hearne's early death, recounts his third, and successful, effort to find the fabled Coppermine River and reach its mouth on the Arctic Ocean.
