Free PDF: "A Journey to the Northern Ocean" as featured by RM

[DavidJT]

By way of a cheapo welcome back pressie, I thought I'd share this link to a free PDF download (out of copyright so no legal issues) of Samuel Hearne's "A Journey...To The Northen Ocean". As featured in Episode 3 of Ray's New series last week.
Good read (although I've only dipped into it so far) and has all the illustrations, and some 20thC photos, but being of that period is quite long winded, E.G. 75 pages of introductions and forwards etc.
Anyway, welcome back all!...

Your welcome mate. Actually don't want to put anyone off by saying it's wordy, by page 2 or 3 of the book proper they are sleeping in snow holes etc so it is a good read.

Thanks.

thanks for that, the library is a great find have a look at some of the other memoir's in that section there look to be some really good titles

John Fraklin's "A Journey to the Northern sea" seems to ring a bell as well

No worries your welcome.
Here's another one I'm currently enjoying browsing through, "The forest trees of Britain" By Charles Alexander Johns. In depth old school knowledge on lots of different domestic trees, and the uses of their woods...
