Wilderness Canoeing

Lands Reborn – A solitary canoe, piercing into a vanishing wilderness untouched by time, heads up the Dease River in the late summer of 1911. George Douglas and August Sandberg were making their first foray in these forlorn lands where they would meet traditional Inuit and search for the riches of the Coppermine across the bounds of history. Douglas' rare 1914 book, Lands Forlorn, is being reprinted with all the photos and an updated forward to properly place this book in its unique moment of history. Douglas called this spot Notman's Dyke, perhaps alluding to William Notman, the famed late 19th century photographer. See page 6.
