THE NEW NORTH Being Some Account of a Woman's Journey through Canada to the Arctic BY AGNES DEANS CAMERON WITH MANY ILLUSTRATIONS FROM PHOTOGRAPHS BY THE AUTHOR Published November, 1909 A Magnificent Trophy TO THE MEMORY OF MY MOTHER, JESSIE ANDERSON CAMERON AND TO ALL THOSE WHO TRY TO LIVE OUT HER SIMPLE RULE: "WE MUST JUST TRY TO DO THE VERY BEST WE CAN" PREFACE It is customary to write a preface. Mine shall be short. Out of a full heart, I wish to thank all the splendid people of the North who, by giving me so freely information and photographs, and chapters out of their own lives, have facilitated the writing of this story. For their spontaneous kindness to me and mine no acknowledgment that I can here make is adequate. What we feel most strongly we cannot put into words. AGNES DEANS CAMERON. August, 1909.
