Guide Book No. 10: Excursions in Northern British Columbia, Yukon Territory and along the North Pacific Coast; 1913

A desirable early Geological Survey of Canada publication, Guide Book No. 10: Excursions in Northern British Columbia, Yukon Territory and along the North Pacific Coast (1913) was issued as part of a series of detailed field guides documenting key geological regions across Canada.

This volume focuses on some of the most geologically and historically significant areas of western Canada, including northern British Columbia and the Yukon, regions closely tied to early mining development and exploration. It includes detailed descriptions of regional geology, stratigraphy, and physiography, along with numerous illustrations and original colour maps that enhance both its scientific and visual appeal.

As with other excursion guide books of this era, the content is highly locality-based and was intended for use in the field, offering a practical perspective on early geological work in remote and developing regions.

This example shows moderate wear to the original cloth covers from use, while the interior remains clean and well-preserved. The presence of maps and illustrations adds significantly to the collectibility of the volume.

A strong addition to any collection of Canadian geological literature, particularly for those with an interest in northern mining regions and early exploration history.
