Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This personal narrative details the travel of Captain W.F. Butler and his expedition of discovery across the northwestern portions of America and (now) Canada. His journey was spurred by a deep yearning to explore the vast unknown, and he was further inspired by the moving story of Karkakonias, the Chippeway Chief at Pembina. The author conveys that one cannot possibly comprehend the vast wonders that the Western world beholds without experiencing them first-hand; its beauty is lost in translation. Butler took it upon himself to see the "Great Lone Land" and use his talents as a writer to bring his passion back to the people of his nation to inspire further exploration.
