Publisher's Synopsis
The Barren Ground of Northern Canada is a non-fiction book written by Warburton Pike and published in 1917. The book is a detailed account of his travels through the remote and inhospitable regions of Northern Canada, specifically the Barren Grounds of the Northwest Territories. Pike describes the harsh conditions of the landscape, including the extreme cold, barren terrain, and lack of vegetation. He also provides insights into the indigenous people of the region, including the Inuit and Dene, and their traditional ways of life. The book is divided into chapters that cover various topics such as wildlife, geography, and the challenges of survival in such a harsh environment. Pike's writing is vivid and engaging, and he provides a unique perspective on a part of Canada that is still relatively unknown to many people.
