Popular account of the author's trip as superintendent of Forestry for Canada, down the Athabasca, Slave, and Mackenzie rivers and up the Yukon River to Skagway.

Excerpt from Down the Mackenzie and Up the Yukon in 1906 The following narrative is based on a report which I made to the Government of Canada, dated November 16, in the year 1906, shortly after my return to Ottawa from the far North. In writing this report I had to resist the temptation to give many details which were present in my mind at the time but which would be scarcely warranted in an official document. In the following pages I have allowed myself more latitude and have also included several illustrations, the greater number of them being photographs taken by myself. Many of these were snapshots taken from the deck of one or other of the steamers on which I was a passenger, and for that reason are not as good as when time exposures were obtained.
