Publisher's Synopsis
""The Arctic Prairies"" is a non-fiction book written by Ernest Thompson Seton. It is an account of his 2,000-mile canoe journey in search of the caribou in the region north of Aylmer Lake. The book is divided into two parts: the first part describes Seton's journey through the barren lands of northern Canada, while the second part focuses on his observations and experiences with the caribou. Seton's writing is vivid and descriptive, taking readers on a journey through the harsh and unforgiving terrain of the Arctic prairies. He describes the flora and fauna of the region, as well as the challenges he faced in navigating the waterways and surviving in the wilderness. The second part of the book focuses on Seton's encounters with the caribou, which were the primary reason for his journey. He describes their behavior, habitat, and hunting practices, as well as the cultural significance of the caribou to the indigenous peoples of the region. Overall, ""The Arctic Prairies"" is a fascinating and informative account of a journey through one of the most remote and inhospitable regions of the world.
