People are supposed to have an object in every journey they undertake in this world. A man goes to Africa to look for the Nile, to Rome to see the Coliseum or St. Peter’s; and once, I believe, a certain traveller tramped all the way to Jerusalem for the sole purpose of playing ball against the walls of that city. As this matter of object, then, seems to be a rule with travellers, it may be asked by those who read this book, what object had the writer in undertaking a journey across the snowy wilderness of North America, in winter and alone? I fear there is no answer to be given to the question, save such as may be found in the motto on the title-page, or in the pages of the book itself.

Egerton Ryerson Young's 'Three Boys in the Wild North Land' is a captivating tale that follows three adventurous young boys as they travel through the untamed wilderness of Canada in the late 19th century. The book is written in a descriptive and engaging style that brings the rugged beauty of the North Land to life, while also highlighting the challenges and dangers the boys face on their journey. Young's firsthand experiences as a missionary in Canada add authenticity to the narrative, making it a valuable historical account of life in the wilds of North America during this time period. 'Three Boys in the Wild North Land' is a prime example of the adventure fiction genre popular in the Victorian era, providing readers with a thrilling and educational glimpse into a bygone world. Egerton Ryerson Young, a Canadian missionary and author, drew inspiration for 'Three Boys in the Wild North Land' from his own travels and experiences in the remote regions of Canada. As a passionate advocate for indigenous peoples, Young's writing often reflects his deep connection to the land and its native inhabitants, creating a rich tapestry of cultural and historical references throughout the book. I highly recommend 'Three Boys in the Wild North Land' to readers who enjoy classic adventure literature with a historical twist. Young's vivid storytelling and heartfelt portrayal of frontier life make this book a timeless and captivating read for all ages.

“Romantic, urgent, valuable and appealing as hell.” —Andrew McCarthy, New York Times Book Review Writer Porter Fox spent three years exploring 4,000 miles of the border between Maine and Washington, traveling by canoe, freighter, car, and foot. In Northland, he blends a deeply reported and beautifully written story of the region’s history with a riveting account of his travels. Setting out from the easternmost point in the mainland United States, Fox follows explorer Samuel de Champlain’s adventures across the Northeast; recounts the rise and fall of the timber, iron, and rail industries; crosses the Great Lakes on a freighter; and traces the forty-ninth parallel from Minnesota to the Pacific Ocean. He weaves in his encounters with residents, border guards, Indian activists, and militia leaders to give a dynamic portrait of the northland today, wracked by climate change, water wars, oil booms, and border security.
