Excerpt from Among the Selkirk Glaciers: Being the Account of a Rough Survey in the Rocky Mountain Regions of British Columbia The Paper I read last winter before the Royal Geographical Society on our explorations in the Sel kirks being necessarily limited as to detail, I thought it might prove interesting to some to have a fuller account.
