Writing the Wilderness Experience: Field Notes, Journals, Books.
MacLaren, I. S.
Pathways, v4 n5 p5-11 Aug 1992
Discusses historical examples of how fieldnotes of explorers are altered for publication, particularly in case of Samuel Hearne's "A Journal from Prince of Wale's Fort in Hudson Bay to the Northern Ocean 1769, 1770, 1771, 1772." Suggests readers view explorers' narratives as reflections of tastes and ideologies of their age and books as products of their era's publishing mechanism. (KS)
