The Wild North Land The Story of a Winter Journey with Dogs across Northern North America

"The Wild North Land" by Sir William Francis Butler, is a gripping narrative about a solitary winter journey through the untamed landscapes of Northern North America in the early 1900s. Feeling unappreciated back home, the author abandons thoughts of African travel and journeys into the cold unknown with his trusty dog, Cerf-vola, seeking adventure and a new appreciation for the world away from England. Starting at the Red River, the book recounts his experience with the magnificent and dangerous wild, including the difficulties of harsh weather, travel using traditional methods, and the stark solitude, all while exploring the profound character of both man and nature.
