Excerpt from Exploration de la Région du Grand Lac des Ours: Fin des Quinze Ans Sous le Cercle Polaire
J 'ai parcouru en tous sens les baies Smith et Keith, la portion médiane de la baie Basse et l'extrémité occidentale de celle de Mac - View. Quant à l'est du Grand Lac des Ours, je n'ai pu le visiter; mais, comme la carte de Kendall laisse également en blanc cette partie orientale du grand bassin arctique, j'ai rempli ce vide au moyen du tracé que m'en fournirent, pour le compléter, des Indiens nés sur les lieux et qui y chassent chaque été. Les Dènè sont très ferrés sur la géographie de leur pays.

Excerpt from Exploration de la Région du Grand Lac des Ours: Fin des Quinze Ans Sous le Cercle Polaire
On comprend toutefois que, quelque savante qu'ait été l'exploration de Kendall et de son compagnon, le Dr John Richardson, elle n'a pu tout découvrir ni relever en une seule sai son. Voilà ce qui explique pourquoi la carte que j'ai dressée au cours de huit voyages suc cessifs place des îles de roche, des promontoires élevés, de larges cours d'eau et même des mon tagnes aux mêmes points où la carte de ces officiers de Franklin n'offre que des blancs.
