Description
In 1757, when twelve-year-old Samuel Hearne joined the Royal Navy, he embarked on a life of high adventure. This young sailor would become the first European to reach the Arctic coast of North America as well as the author of a classic work of exploration literature. Hearne spent three years trekking the northern wilds of the Arctic in search of a fabled copper mine and the legendary Northwest passage. Immersing himself among the native peoples, he travelled more than 3,5000 miles, mostly on foot.
