Abstract:

"North was also a celebrated literary author. He was a published author by the age of 11, when G.P. Putnam printed his accounts of adventures in Northern Ontario with his father as part of a boys' adventure series. North's observations of the customs, hunting methods and movements of the Ojibway Indians later became material for Canadian anthropologists, who prized them as among the few extant first-person writings about the tribe."
