In 1887, at the tender age of eighteen, Tappan Adney embarked on his first trip to New Brunswick. He had plans to enrol at Columbia University in the fall, primed for a meteoric rise in academia — but fate intervened. He fell under the spell of the New Brunswick wilderness and the local Maliseet people. Nothing escaped his curiosity. Adney embarked on hunting, fishing, and camping trips, recording his wilderness adventures in journals through evocative sketches and memorable prose, including the detail of a caribou hunt decades before their extinction in this area of the country. Years later, Tappan Adney went on to become a celebrated journalist, photographer, and ethnologist. His models of aboriginal canoes, now in many museum collections, helped save the birchbark canoe from oblivion. This new, revised edition of the original volume of The Travel Journals of Tappan Adney is a welcome companion to the recently published second volume of Tappan Adney's journals. This edition features a few corrections, the inclusion of recently discovered photographs, and a more relaxed design to match the second volume for reading ease. | The Travel Journals of Tappan Adney Vol. 1 1887-1890, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
