Christmas Day Hardship For Samuel Hearne In 1770
This week recalls Samuel Hearne’s Christmas Day 1770 spent trudging northwest from Fort Churchill with Matonabbee and companions. They faced near-starvation after December 18 with only tobacco and snow water as rations, while Hearne mourned luxury in Europe. Two days after Christmas they killed four of ten tracks seen, and later enjoyed a belated meal amidst scarce food.
