Provenance: acquired by Wm. George Harding, ca. 1901. Harding had accompanied the explorer Harry de Windt on his failed attempt in 1896 to travel overland from New York to Paris, travelling only as far the Siberian shores of Bering Straits. In 1901 another attempt was made by de Windt and Harding, this time attempting the route in reverse, i.e. Paris to New York. The "De Windt Expedition" left Paris on Dec. 19th 1901 and travelled to Moscow and thence to Yakutsk, Verkhoyansk, Nijni-Kolymsk, and the Bering Straits; travelling 11,263 miles and employing 808 horses, 887 reindeer and 114 dogs en route. From East Cape, Bering Straits they travelled to Cape Prince of Wales, Alaska, to Nome City, St. Michael"s, Dawson City and eventually to New York on Aug. 25th 1902, covering a total distance of 18,494 miles. During the journey they spent much time amongst the Inuit peoples of Cape Prince of Wales, Alaska; it was here perhaps that Harding acquired this kayak. Accompanying this lot are photo-copies taken from an album of newscuttings and photographs relating to this expedition (one photograph showing Harding with de Windt); the original album having been retained by the family. An account of the expedition by de Windt "From Paris to New York by Land" was published in 1904.

I therefore wish to beg thy candid impartial opinion of the subject - the rails used about Newcastle are about 2.5 inches broad & slightly convex - depth varying so as to suit the weight to be carried from 5 inches upwards. On the best Railways thus made as we have no tram roads a good horse of moderate powers will take 10 Tons... ......does thou know of any tram way where the same work can be done... ... ...I rely most on my own opinion... ... ... I am under the unpleasant necessity of asking for half dozen lines in answer to this by 4 days post as our committee of which I am a member meets on the 6th day morning and the subject will be discussed... ... ..." 3-pages 4to with address panel. Later note in ink to address panel. Together with a small quantity of Pease family letters and papers, these generally late 19th Cent. Edward Pease (1767-1858) and his son Joseph first proposed the construction of a tram-road between Stockton and Darlington in 1818 but it was not until the necessary Act of Parliament received royal assent on 19th April 1821 that work in earnest could commence. Originally it was intended that the cars would be drawn by horses but in the spring of 1821 Pease was approached by an 'engine-wright', George Stephenson, who strongly urged the advantage of steam locomotives.... ..... ...... ......
