Summary:
Between 1887 and 1896, a young Tappan Adney ventured into the uncharted New Brunswick wilderness, writing, sketching, and photographing all that caught his attention. He learned about the Maliseet people, recorded their names for plants and animals, took detailed notes on their technology -- snowshoes, snares, and birchbark canoes -- and commented astutely on the sometimes difficult relationships between Natives and newcomers.Setting out to visit his friends in Woodstock, New Brunswick, and with all intentions to return to the United States to attend Columbia University in the fall, Tappan Adney, at the age of 18, embarked on a trip that would ultimately set the course of his life. Tappan Adney's writings, illustrations, and photographs were published in Harper's Magazine. This follow-up journal to 2010's first volume takes us back to a time when wildness was still something easily accessible and wildlife abundant.
