Separated from the mainland by many kilometres of water, the islands had retained a distinct ecological and cultural envionment that reflected millennia of isolation. They were, at the time that Dawson visited them, home to many rare species of plants and animals as well as to the unique culture of the Haida people. One of the most remarkable scientists and explorers of his time, Dawson drew maps, collected fossil, plant and insect specimens, and investigated the ethnology of the Native people. His interest in Native culture is readily apparent in his personal reports and private journals, and he collected artifacts and took photographs which are well known for their early depictions of Haida villages and architecture. Yet what is most amazing is that he accomplished all this despite being physically challenged by the debilitating effects of a childhood illness. This edition of Dawson's 1878 exploration of the Queen Charlotte Islands includes a reprint of Dawson's report, On the Haida Indians of the Queen Charlotte Islands, as well as numerous photographs taken by Dawson during his explorations. The text of the 1878 journal is meticulously annotated by editors Cole and Lockner, who also provide an informative introduction which includes biographical, scientific, and ethnological details.Pioneers of British Columbia ;10.GeologyBritish ColumbiaHaida GwaiiHaida IndiansIndians of North AmericaBritish ColumbiaHaida GwaiiGeologistsCanadaDiariesHaida Gwaii (B.C.)Description and travelGeologyHaida Indians.Indians of North AmericaGeologists917.11/12043Dawson George Mercer1849-1901.237979Cole Douglas1938-1997.1801198Lockner Bradley John1950-1801199MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910956253103321To the Charlottes4346325UNINA
