| Title |
William Logan’s 1845 Survey of the Upper Ottawa Valley
|
| Abstract |
The Montreal-born and British-trained Sir William Edmond Logan (1798-1875) was the founding director of the Geological Survey of Canada, based in Montreal from 1843 until 1881. In 1845 he surveyed the Ottawa Valley from Ottawa up to Lake Timiskaming (Lac Témiscamingue), 460 kilometres north of Ottawa, during which time he kept a dairy (separate from his survey reports) to record, in both words and drawings, his personal thoughts, feelings, and observations about his fellow surveyors, people they met, and this region of Canada that he was visiting for the first time. The diary records the personal, social, cultural, and environmental contexts that shaped Logan’s scientific experience during the journey.
