In September 1951, during a short stay in the U.S.A., the speaker hitch-hiked a distance of four hundred miles through Virginia to the Shenandoah Valley and back to the coast. Among other things, he worked on a pig farm, picked cotton with a family of Negroes, travelled with a man who emptied nickels from juke-boxes, and was shown the Jefferson monuments at Monticello by a motor salesman from Richmond.

Lord Tweedsmuir spent a year at a Hudson's Bay Company's fur-trading post in Baffin Island in the Canadien Arctic. He dramatises and tells the tale of that year, trading with the Eskimos, traveling with them by schooner or dog team, hunting the seal and the walrus, trapping in the winter wastes, and watching the coming and the passing of winter.
