This is the account of that unsuccessful expedition which travelled down the Mackenzie River by boat eastward along the coast to the Coppermine River returning overland to Fort Confidence on Great Slave Lake. Richardson returned to England in the spring of 1849 leaving his assistant John Rae in command. An account of Raes journey that summer down the Coppermine River is also given here. Considerable attention is paid to the ethnography of the Esquimaux and Kutchin Cree and Chipewyan Indians of the regions traversed.
