The Arctic Bibliography says of this work:
"Abstracts from the author's journals of his three voyages to the Canadian arctic waters; of his attempt to reach the North Pole and his account of the Eskimos."

Much of the larger portion of Vol. II. is devoted to a narration of the Indian wars of the States bordering the Ohio.
