| Summary | "Notes of a Twenty-Five Years' Service in the Hudson's Bay Territory. Volume II." by John M'Lean is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book chronicles the author's experiences and observations during his service with the Hudson's Bay Company in the harsh and remote territory of the Hudson Bay region. The narrative provides insights into the landscape, the indigenous peoples, and the challenges of life in an area marked by extreme weather and scarce resources. The opening of the volume begins with M'Lean's journey to Norway House, detailing the difficulties faced by the party as they navigate snow-covered terrain. The text describes the changing seasons and the landscape's beauty despite its adversities, such as snowstorms and the scarcity of game. M'Lean's reflections on the social customs of local Indian tribes are intertwined with descriptions of travel hardships, establishing a setting that highlights both the natural environment and human resilience amidst isolation and hardship.
