"The Barren Ground of Northern Canada" by Warburton Pike is an adventure narrative about exploring Canada's remote northern regions during the late 1800s. Guided by the allure of the mysterious musk-ox, Pike journeys from Calgary to Edmonton and beyond, into the untamed Barren Ground, sharing observations on landscape, animals, and culture. The story begins with the preparations and aims of Pike’s journey, setting the stage for an exploration filled with challenges and the promise of uncovering the secrets of a creature few had seen. Encounters with difficult terrains, wild animals, and harsh weather paint a picture of the trials faced by explorers of the time. Interwoven with his personal quest, Pike reflects on help from the Hudson's Bay Company and relationships with native populations as he travels the unexplored region.
