About This Book

A candid first-person account records a series of voyages and overland journeys through northeastern North America, recounting prolonged travels, capture and adoption by an Iroquois band, escape to European settlements, and later explorations of inland lakes, riverways, and northern bays in pursuit of the fur trade. The narratives blend episodic adventure, practical observations on navigation and survival, lively descriptions of Indigenous customs and diplomatic encounters, and details of commerce and alliances with European and Native partners. Presented from contemporary manuscript journals, the texts are ordered chronologically and augmented with editorial notes and an index.
