A Thousand Miles From A Post Office: Or Twenty Years Life And Travel In The Hudson�������s Bay Regions is a memoir written by Joseph Lofthouse in 1922. The book chronicles Lofthouse's experiences living and traveling in the Hudson's Bay regions of Canada for twenty years. Lofthouse was a fur trader and explorer who spent much of his time living among the indigenous peoples of the region, including the Cree and Inuit. He describes the harsh conditions of life in the wilderness, including the extreme cold, hunger, and danger from wild animals. Lofthouse also provides insights into the customs and beliefs of the indigenous peoples he encountered, as well as their interactions with European traders and settlers. The book is a fascinating account of a bygone era, and provides a unique perspective on the history of the Hudson's Bay Company and the fur trade in Canada.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
