Summary "The Barren Ground of Northern Canada" by Warburton Pike is a travelogue and exploration account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles Pike's expedition into the remote areas of Canada, particularly focusing on the pursuit of the elusive musk-ox in the Barren Ground. Through his narrative, Pike provides insights into the geography, wildlife, and the indigenous peoples he encounters along the way, offering a glimpse into a largely untouched natural world. The opening of the book sets the stage for Pike’s adventure, detailing the preparations and intentions behind his journey from Calgary to Edmonton and further into the northern territories. Pike expresses his motivation to discover the musk-ox, a species that has intrigued many explorers before him but remained shrouded in mystery. The initial chapters capture the challenges of travel in the Canadian wilderness, from navigating rough terrain to encountering wildlife and dealing with the elements. As he travels, Pike reflects on the support of the Hudson's Bay Company and his interactions with Indigenous people, providing an engaging introduction to the broader themes of exploration and survival that define his journey.
