In 1754, he entered the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich in London before taking up a commission in the Indian army. In 1760, he served in the Seven Years' War, returning to England with the rank of Captain. After his army career, he turned to exploration and set himself up as a trader along the Labrador coast of Canada, making six expeditions from 1770–86 between Cape St Charles and Hamilton Inlet. Published in 1792, this is the last book of a three-volume work that recounts the author's adventures along the Labrador coast, vividly portraying the land and the culture of the indigenous peoples. This volume covers Cartwright's fifth and sixth expeditions (1783–6). Each volume also includes a glossary of unusual terms.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eGlossary\u003cbr\u003e The fifth voyage\u003cbr\u003e The sixth voyage\u003cbr\u003e A diary of Fahrenheit's thermometer\u003cbr\u003e Labrador, a poetical epistle.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Historical geography [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Historical geography\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Historical%20geography%20%5BHBTP%5D%22\"\u003eHBTP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266067517720,"sku":"9781108041621","price":33.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108041621i_c7acfde1-ca62-46b1-90e9-005201874e42.jpg?v=1696746513","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/a-journal-of-transactions-and-events-during-a-residence-of-nearly-sixteen-years-on-the-coast-of-labrador-paperback-9781108041621","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
