  • Meet Sydney Taylor who has the Wanderlust to travel. Follow him as he is born in 1887 in London, England and runs away at a young age of 15 to Canada.

    Here he starts his life-long work of close to 50 years with the Hudson Bay Company.

    Follow him on his travels across Canada, where he begins working in the wild, rough environment of the early 1900's trading in various outposts with the Natives across northern Ontario. Follow his life as we learn about his travels in dog sledding, canoe and portaging across rough area of water and land, hunting, fishing and snowshoeing. Interesting trivia is added to everything that Sydney Taylor comes into contact with as well as the history of his times and the towns he visited. A story that was well researched, forty hand-drawn maps added to understand his travels and at times I believe quite humorous. It is a book good for kids, adults and up to seniors as it is his life's story.
