In the winter of 1874–75, Edward Worrell Jarvis (1846 –1894) and Charles Francis Hanington (1848–1930) took part in an expedition on behalf of the Canadian Pacific Survey from Quesnel, British Columbia, to Winnipeg, Manitoba. It led them over the northern Rocky Mountains through what would come to be known as Jarvis Pass (Kakwa Provincial Park, British Columbia) and eventually onto the Canadian plains. The trip took them 116 days and covered over 3,000 kilometres, of which almost 1,500 was travelled on snowshoes.
Through an Unknown Country brings together the day-to-day reports of Jarvis and the more entertaining narrative of the epic journey by Hanington into a single volume for the first time. Recounting harrowing treks through deep mountains, densely forested valleys, open foothills and wide prairie, this highly readable adventure story can be read alongside the better-known journals of Alexander Mackenzie, Simon Fraser, David Thompson and Paul Kane.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. great story of hardy CPR surveyors By Sam McBride This is an excellent book of Western Canada history that I highly recommend. The hardiness and determination of Jarvis and Hanington in surveying through the Northern Rockies in the middle of winter is amazing. The story is colourfully told by the authors as well as through the original diaries of the two men. Great to see this overlooked story from Canada's pioneer years brought forward in comprehensive form for the first time.
