<p><b>The remarkable life and legacy of an extraordinary man whose influence echoes through time. </b></p><p>Tappan Adney travelled from New York to New Brunswick for a summer holiday at the age of 19 in 1887, and it changed the course of his life. </p><p>Adney is best known for a singular achievement. He was the artist, writer, and illustrator whose chance encounter with Peter Jo, a W&#601;last&#601;kwi Elder&#8211;craftsman, led to a passionate, lifelong interest in the birchbark canoe and W&#601;last&#601;kwey culture. </p><p>But that is only part of the story. Throughout his life, little escaped Adney&#8217;s curiosity. From his extensive documentation of the design of Indigenous canoes to his reportage on the Klondike Gold Rush; from his work as an illustrator, photographer, and designer to his natural history journalism; from his activism for Indigenous rights to his documentation of the W&#601;last&#601;kwey language, Adney&#8217;s mind roamed from one passion to another, leaving behind a treasure trove of natural history and ethnographic research. This book tells the intriguing story of his remarkable life and his multifaceted legacy. </p>
