On his third and final great voyage, Cook surveyed the northwest American coast, hoping to find the legendary Northwest Passage. While dreams of a passage proved illusory, Cook’s journey produced some of the finest charts, collections, and anthropological observations of his career. It also helped establish British relations with Russia and opened the door to the hugely influential maritime fur trade. This collection of essays from an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars—including former Vancouver Maritime Museum executive director James P. Delgado; Canada’s pre-eminent naval historian, Barry Gough; Richard Inglis, former head of anthropology at the Royal British Columbia Museum; and University of Alberta historian I.S. MacLaren—uses artifacts, charts, and records of the encounters between Native peoples and explorers to tell the story of this remarkable voyage. The book also provides new insights into Cook’s legacy and his influence on subsequent expeditions in the Pacific Northwest. Finally, the collection uses Cook’s voyage as a springboard to consider the promise and challenge of the “new North” today, demonstrating its importance as a meeting place of political, cultural, economic, and environmental forces. James K. Barnett is the author of Captain Cook in Alaska and the North Pacific and coeditor of Enlightenment and Exploration in the North Pacific, 1741–1805. David L. Nicandri is the author of River of Promise: Lewis and Clark on the Columbia and the former director of the Washington State Historical Society. Robin Inglis is a fellow of the Canadian Museums Association and author of the Historical Dictionary of the Discovery and Exploration of the Northwest Coast of America. He has served as research curator for the exhibition Arctic Ambitions: Captain Cook and the Northwest Passage for the Anchorage Museum and the Washington State Historical Society. of related interest Baychimo: Arctic Ghost Ship 978-1-894974-14-1, $9.95 pb 978-1-926936-77-2, $9.99 epub 2 heritagehouse . ca Alone against the Arctic 978-1-894974-33-2, $9.95 pb 978-1-926936-76-5, $9.99 epub Sir John Franklin: Expeditions to Destiny 978-1-927051-81-8, $9.95 pb 978-1-927051-82-5, $7.99 epub h e ritag r i ta g e h o u s e birds of british columbia and the pacific Northwest A Complete Guide Richard Cannings, Tom Aversa, and Hal Opperman Discover more than four hundred bird species in Birds of British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest—the quintessential guide for serious birders or those who are ready to take their bird-watching to the next level.

Crimes such as horse theft, random murders, and prison escapes were the order of the day, and the North West Mounted Police continued to rely on their horses, their contacts, and their wits to apprehend the culprits. By the mid-1930s, a sea change in technology and police science had changed the game. Major advances in transportation, communications, and sleuthing techniques made crime-solving a new art—but the criminals also had access to the new ways. The US had Bonnie and Clyde, and John Dillinger, but Canada had its fair share of bad apples committing equally vicious crimes: a serial rapist and strangler who most often chose female proprietors of rooming houses as his victims; a father-andson murder team, tracked by an enterprising detective all the way to Kentucky; and a group of murderous youths who sparked a manhunt across two provinces and a bloody shootout resulting in the deaths of four policemen. These stories offer an intriguing look at the skill, determination, and bravery of Prairie law enforcers as they risked their all to bring ruthless outlaws to justice. Art Downs (1924–1996) was a writer, editor, historian, and pioneer of BC book and magazine publishing. Born in England, he moved to Saskatchewan as a young child and later settled in Quesnel, BC. He became owner of the Cariboo Digest, which evolved into BC Outdoors, a successful magazine about BC history, wildlife, and conservation. In 1969, Art and his wife, Doris, established Heritage House Publishing. of related interest The Law and the Lawless: Frontier Justice in British Columbia and Yukon, 1913–1935 978-1-772030-29-7, $9.95 pb 978-1-772030-30-3, $7.99 epub 8 heritagehouse . ca The Law and the Lawless: Frontier Justice in British Columbia and Yukon, 1858–1911 978-1-927527-89-4, $9.95 pb 978-1-927527-90-0, $7.99 epub The Law and the Lawless: Frontier Justice on the Canadian Prairies, 1873–1895 978-1-927527-86-3, $9.95 pb 978-1-927527-87-0, $7.99 epub a m a z i n g s t o r i e s • h e r i ta g e h o u s e THE LUCK OF THE K ARLUK Shipwrecked in the Arctic L.D. Cross When the members of Canada’s First Arctic Expedition set out from Victoria aboard hmcs Karluk in the summer of 1913, it was a moment of great optimism. The threeyear mission would chart unexplored land masses of the western Arctic and secure Canada’s place in the international geographic community. Little did the team of distinguished scholars and scientists realize, however, how their hopes would soon be brought to ruin. Just a few months into the journey, the vessel became lodged in heavy ice, eventually sinking near the coast of Siberia. With little polar experience among them but ample supplies salvaged from the wreck, the group of castaways slowly made their way to solid ground on desolate Wrangel Island. There they would wait while the ship’s captain and an Inuk guide embarked on a heroic 1,100-kilometre trek along the Siberian coast in search of help. By the end of the fifteen-month saga, eleven members of the original expedition would perish from frostbite and sickness, while the remaining twenty would survive to tell the tale. The Luck of the Karluk is a fascinating story about an important episode in Canada’s history and a revealing study of the strengths and weaknesses of human nature under treacherous conditions. L.D.
