Overview

Excerpt from The Essentials of American Timber Law In the newspapers there has recently appeared what pur ported to be a true account of the experiences of an Indian who, in the autumn of 1915, became separated from his com panions in the extensive uninhabited region south of Hudson Bay. Surrounded by conditions peculiarly unfavorable to human existence and confronted by dangers that would have overwhelmed a man lacking in courage and initiative, this native American maintained his poise and applied himself to the task of mastering the situation into which a seemingly unkind fate had brought him. Not only did this Indian successfully resist the hostile forces that threatened his destruction but, with no mechanical appliance other than a knife, he started a fire, erected a shelter, fashioned traps for fish and' game and supplied him self with the three essentials of life, - food, clothing and a. Habitation. Before the long sub-arctic winter was over he had gathered a large stock of furs and had constructed a canoe in which to transport his furs to a place where they would have a value a hundred fold greater than in the wilder ness in which he had collected them.
