Description

Olaus J. Murie took his first field go back and forth as a biologist to the Hudson Bay region in 1914, observing the land and the natural world, and learning the ways of the native people of the North. Later expeditions took him to Labrador and plenty of a part of Alaska, a land he came to know well and love deeply.
What Murie experienced on these travels was once recorded within the sketchbooks and journal that he at all times carried with him. In conjunction with his fascinating choice of photographs, they form the basis for a narrative that combines a scientist’s eye for detail and a naturalist’s reverence for wilderness.
Whether dogsledding, shooting rapids in a canoe, or dancing with Aleut Eskimos, Murie had a passion for discovery and conservation that enlivens each and every page of JOURNEYS TO THE FAR NORTH.
