The New North

"The New North" by Agnes Deans Cameron is a travel story about a woman's big trip across Canada towards the Arctic in the early 1900s. The book follows her adventure as she faces difficult situations, sees amazing scenery, and learns new things while traveling through the far-off northern areas of Canada. She writes about meeting different groups of people and learning about their cultures. She starts her trip with a lot of excitement, wanting to discover parts of Canada that most tourists don't see. Cameron talks about her first travels, getting from Chicago to Winnipeg, and explains why Winnipeg is important for its wheat and how busy the city is. She thinks about all the different people living there and how important the Hudson's Bay Company was in the past, which gets her ready for the rest of her trip. The beginning shows how much she wants to go on this adventure, how much she loves the beautiful Canadian land, and how she will grow as a person because of the trip.
