Hunting and Fishing in the Canadian Wilderness.
Percy was an avid outdoorsman and would often take trips up North in the Canadian wilderness. In his unpublished memoirs, he recounts some of the adventures he shared with his guides. In one, Percy describes how he fell through thin ice and was stranded in freezing water until his Native guide started up a fire. The Native Elder pastel portrait above is dedicated to Percy Nobbs and is thought to be by Nicholas de Grandmaison. The inscription on the bottom left reads "To Percy from Nick, Souvenir for many pleasant days of association". (Greenwood Collection)
