Title	Hunting journal
Creator	Percy, Algernon Heber, 1845-1911; Percy, Mrs. Heber
Date	1877
Decade	1870-1879
Part Of	Journal of a hunting expedition to the Canadian West and North Dakota
Place	Canada; North Dakota, United States of America
Description	This diary of an excursion by a British hunting party to the Canadian and American West in the summer of 1877 is attributed to Algernon Heber Percy and his wife. The work is illustrated with original watercolor drawings, and provides detailed and humorous narration of the progress of the expedition, persons met along the way, game pursued, and the doings of the party. The party arrived at Fort Garry (now Winnipeg) by steamer up the Red River on July 29, 1877. Of particular interest are the frequent encounters with Indians, mainly Sioux, who had escaped north of the border to avoid the putative expeditions of the U.S. Army in wake of the Custer Massacre. The narrative is illustrated with 13 drawings, presumably by the author or a member of the party. The entire journey took over two months, with the party returning to Fort Garry on October 8, 1877.
