Streeter: Hunter’s narration of his journey “to the Yukon in quest of Frances Lake” is taken from his diary. “Many things that I wrote in the field last summer read queerly today, but that may be accounted for by the fact that here on Long Island I am neither tired, hungry, nor wet. These three things strangely influence the amateur explorer.”
The author thanks Charles Sheldon of Washington, D.C., in the Apologia for giving him the idea to search for sheep at Frances Lake. Hunter retraced some of the 1887 explorations of George M.Dawson, published in The Yukon Territory (1898), which collected acounts by Dall, Dawson, and Ogilvie. Streeter 3627; Phillips, p. 190.
