The Northwest Passage By Land: Being The Narrative Of An Expedition From The Atlantic To The Pacific is a book written by William Fitzwilliam Milton in 1865. The book is a detailed account of an expedition led by Milton himself, which took place in the mid-19th century. The expedition aimed to explore the Northwest Passage, a sea route connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans through the Arctic. However, instead of taking a sea route, the expedition took a land route, traveling through the Canadian wilderness to reach the Pacific coast. The book is divided into several chapters, each detailing a different part of the journey. Milton describes the challenges faced by the expedition, including harsh weather conditions, difficult terrain, and encounters with indigenous peoples. He also provides descriptions of the flora and fauna encountered along the way, as well as the various geological formations and natural landmarks. Overall, The Northwest Passage By Land is a fascinating account of a historic expedition, providing valuable insights into the exploration of the Canadian wilderness and the search for a passage connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The book is an important historical document, shedding light on the challenges faced by explorers in the mid-19th century and the impact of exploration on the indigenous peoples of the region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
