Harmon of the North West Fur Company ranks very high. Harmon spent nineteen years of his life in the service of the Company, eight years of which were passed beyond the Rocky Mountains, and between them and the Pacific Ocean. When he first came among them the Indians still wandered through the country in their primitive simplicity, unconscious of the existence of other human beings save them selves. He passed his life among these sav ages. He even took a wife, ad interim, from one of the tribes and lived with her until he forsook the country forever. He was there fore in a good position to study the people from a very near standpoint. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Journal of Voyages and Travels in the Interior of North America: Between the 47th and 58th Degree of North Latitude, Extending From Montreal Nearly to the Pacific Ocean, a Distance of About 5000 Miles, Including an Account of the Principal Occurences During a Residence of Nearly Nineteen Years in Different Parts of Tha The world is very considerably indebted to various servants of the great North West Fur Companies, not only for the valuable and useful furs they have obtained for us, but for the different kinds of wealth they have garnered in the guise of accurate and scientific knowledge regarding the wild inhabitants, the fauna, flora, and the geographical configuration of the immense wilderness in which their lives for the most part have been spent. The debt is none the less because many of these men were obliged to undergo great hardships in their business - cut off for years from all civilized society, and compelled, if human companionship must be had, to be content with the company of the aboriginal savages of the country. Some of these lonely waifs occasionally varied the monotony of their regular employment by studying the strange land and its people and writing down the results either for the benefit of friends in the far-away home, or for a still wider constituency, or from sheer lack of anything more congenial to occupy their, leisure hours.

Download or read book The Travels and Journal of Ambrosio Bembo written by Ambrosio Bembo and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2007-09-19 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1671, Ambrosio Bembo, a young nobleman bored with everyday life in Venice, decided to broaden his knowledge of the world through travel. That August he set off on a remarkable, occasionally hazardous, four-year voyage to Syria, Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and the Portuguese colonies of western India. His journal, now translated into English for the first time, is the most important new European travel account of western Asia to be published in the past hundred years. It opens an extraordinary perspective on the Near East and India at a time when few Europeans traveled to these lands. Keenly observed and engagingly written, Bembo's vivid account is filled with a high sense of adventure and curiosity and provides intriguing descriptions of people, landscapes, food, fashion, architecture, customs, cities, commerce, and more. Presented here with the original illustrations and with a rich introduction and annotations, this lively and important historical document is at last available to scholars, students, and armchair travelers alike.
