In 1861, Henry Hind led a two-month long canoe expedition of the Moisie River, Quebecs longest river, from Sept-Iles to the Ashuanipi River in Labrador. This classic book provides a unique glimpse of the raw natural beauty of the land and wildlife, and a highly empathetic description of the aboriginal peoples he encountered and worked with. Hind also writes about the fisheries and seal hunts of Newfoundland, Labrador, and Quebec. He pays particular attention to the spiritual life of both aboriginals and settlers in communities throughout Labrador, Quebec and Newfoundlands southwest coast.
Geologist and naturalist Henry Youle Hind (1823-1908) received an MA from Trinity University in Toronto 1853 and a DCL from King's College in Nova Scotia in 1890. In 1857, he led his first expedition, with the aim of finding the best route between Lake superior and the Red River Settlement. He also led the Assiniboine and Saskatchewan Exploring Expedition in 1858 and the Labrador Expedition of 1861.
