The Drama of the Forests

“It was in childhood that the primitive spirit first came whispering to me. It was then that I had my first day-dreams of the Northland—of its forests, its rivers and lakes, its hunters and trappers and traders, its fur-runners and mounted police, its voyageurs and packeteers, its missionaries and Indians and prospectors, its animals, its birds and its fishes, its trees and its flowers, and its seasons.”

Arthur Henry Howard Heming was born on January 17, 1870, in Paris, Ontario. He was painter and novelist, who became known as the "chronicler of the North" because his sketches, paintings, essays and books were about the Canadian North. In all of his work, he presented Canada’s northlands through vivid and realistic depictions, the northern wildlife, trappers and aboriginal people.

This book, as the other books, is inspired by his experience in Northern Canada, describing all the magnificent things he saw there.
