Narrative:
- The engraving depicts a scene from the travels of
Captain Paliser and his expedition who traveled went to North
America in 1858. An excerpt from his travel journal:
... Now with favoring winds, and an ascent up the Winnipeg River,
stopping only at the White Mud Portage, and its picturesque ascent,
with the voyageur, and the Indians and their squaws, who were following
the party, carrying their canoes across, and then homewards to Toronto,
to which place, from Montreal River, " the greatest hardship I had to
endure," says Mr. Paul Kane of the expedition, with the genuine feeling
of a tired traveler, "was the difficulty I found in trying to sleep in
a civilized bed."
