Charles Willard Hayes

""An Expedition Through The Yukon District"" is a historical travelogue written by Charles Willard Hayes, originally published in 1892. The book recounts Hayes' journey through the Yukon District in the late 1800s, a time when the region was largely unexplored and unknown to outsiders. Hayes' expedition was undertaken with the goal of surveying the land and gathering information on the indigenous people and their way of life. The book is divided into chapters that detail each stage of the journey, from the initial preparations in Seattle to the final return to civilization. Hayes describes the challenges of traveling through the rugged terrain, including treacherous river crossings, encounters with wild animals, and harsh weather conditions. He also provides insights into the culture and traditions of the indigenous people he met along the way. Throughout the book, Hayes provides vivid descriptions of the landscape, flora, and fauna of the Yukon District, as well as the daily routines of the expedition members. He also includes numerous illustrations and photographs, which serve to bring the journey to life for the reader. Overall, ""An Expedition Through The Yukon District"" is a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era of exploration and adventure. It offers a unique perspective on the history and geography of the Yukon, as well as the experiences of those who braved its wilderness in search of knowledge and discovery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
