Knygos aprašymas

Product Description George Cartwright (1739–1819) was a soldier, trader and explorer who spent sixteen years travelling and working in Labrador in northern Canada. In 1754, he entered the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich in London before taking up a commission in the Indian army. In 1760, he served in the Seven Years' War, returning to England with the rank of Captain. After his army career, he turned to exploration and set himself up as a trader along the Labrador coast of northern Canada, making six expeditions from 1770–86 between Cape St Charles and Hamilton Inlet. This three-volume work, published in 1792, recounts the author's adventures along the Labrador coast, vividly portraying the land and the culture of the indigenous peoples. It also contains a brief autobiography and a glossary of unusual terms such as 'jerk', 'king-hairs', and 'lolly'. Book Description Published in 1792, this three-volume work describes the life of a trader on the Labrador coast between 1770 and 1786.
