	Hind, Henry Youle
		Hind, Henry Youle, geologist, naturalist (b at Nottingham, Eng 1 June 1823; d at Windsor, NS 8 Aug 1908).
		Hind was educated at the Nottingham Free Grammar School, a Leipzig commercial college, and Caius College, Cambridge, but graduated from neither of the latter.
		Hind was closely associated with the establishment of the Canadian Institute, a loose association of engineers and surveyors, and acted as editor of the Institute's journal, the Canadian Journal 1852-57.

		Hind taught both chemistry and geology at Trinity, but geology came to consume more and more of his time, although in that subject he was self-educated.
		Hind was attached as geologist and naturalist, and he was assisted by John Arnot Fleming, the brother of his lifelong friend Sandford Fleming.
		A photograph of Henry Youle Hind at about the age of 60 is in the McCord Museum (Montreal), Notman Photographic Arch.

	MHS Transactions: Exploration Photographer, Humphrey Lloyd Hime
		Hind's meeting of Hime was probably not coincidental, but arranged through a mutual acquaintance, perhaps W. Napier or William Armstrong.
		Hind was most enthusiastic about Hime's photographic work at this point noting in his report that "two excellent photographs, taken near the Mission, of the lakes and hills, display the chief characteristics of the valley with the fidelity which can only be attained by that wonderful art."
		Whatever Hind thought about the efforts of his photographer on that Expedition of 1858 he was well aware of the quality and value of the photographs.

		The expansionists were further encouraged by the Canadian expedition of Henry Youle Hind and Simon Dawson, 1857-1858, which made a more positive assessment of the region's agricultural potential than did Palliser's.
		Henry Hind, geology and chemistry professor at Trinity College, Toronto, accumulated the scientific data on the expedition, while Simon Dawson studied the transportation possibilities.
		While the existence of a semi-arid region remained a cautionary tale, the possibility of an agrarian Eden fuelled the expansionist goals of a new nation.

		In the middle of the 19th century, United Canada wanted to annex the vast territories contained within the monopoly of the Hudson's Bay Company, from the hydrographic basin of Hudson's Bay to the Pacific Ocean and from the American border to the Arctic.
		Hind was not noted for the quality of his work as a geologist, but rather for his general observations.
		Palliser's and Hind's expeditions demonstrated a new tendency in the exploration of North America: to learn more about the territory with a view to colonizing it.

	Hind (1858) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		He first taught chemistry and mathematics at the teachers' training college and then, in 1853, became professor of chemistry and geology at the University of Trinity College, a position he still held when he was chosen as a member of the 1857 expedition.
		However, the instructions given to Gladman, Hind and Dawson were unclear, which led to a poisoning of the relations between Gladman on the one hand and Hind and Dawson on the other.
		In later years, while continuing his teaching career, Hind was again hired by the government to make geological assessments, notably in Labrador in 1861, New Brunswick in 1864, and Nova Scotia from 1869 to 1871.

		First edition, 2 volumes, 8vo; 3 large folding maps hand-colored in outline, 5 other full-page maps and plans, each with hand-coloring, numerous woodcut illustrations in the text, plus 20 rather spectacular chromoxylographic plates from photographs taken by Humphrey Lloyd Hime, photographer to the expedition, or from sketches by John Fleming, assistant surveyor and draughtsman.
		Hind lived almost constantly among the Crees and Chippeways, whose habits and peculiarities he was most eager to study, and prompt to record.
		Everything in their life had not only the charm of novelty to him, but as a man of science, he was anxious to observe all the facts which may prove stepping-stones in tracing their origin and their history."

	Calgary & Southern Alberta - Images of the West
		One was led by John Palliser, and the other by Henry Youle Hind and Simon Dawson.
		Palliser and Hind were familiar with American accounts that had mapped much of the western interior of the United States as a "Great Desert." They reported that this desert extended into Canada, in a region known since as Palliser's Triangle.
		After the 1860s, perceptions of the West and its environment underwent several transformations, each of which incorporated new assessments of the West's agrarian and settlement potential.

		This chromolithograph, based on a photograph, reduces the grimness of the scene by adding life in the form of geese and a blue sky; nonetheless, the bleakness of the scene remains clear.

	Inventing Canada: Early Victorian Science and the Idea of a Transcontinental Nation. by Geral Killanoe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Where appropriate, Zeller also widens her study to embrace a large supporting case including governors general, politicians of every persuasion, Montreal merchants, educators, journalists, and farmers, all of whom supported scientific inventories and contributed to the ferment of scientific and- nationalist ideas.
		Likewise, his reports on regions beyond the boundaries of the Canadas fueled the possessive expansionist spirit by disclosing the mineral resources of the north shores of the upper Great Lakes, and by firing the imagination of Canadians about the potential coal and minerals of the far northwest.
		In meteorology, Henry Youle Hind's application of Humboldt's isothermic theories on climatic variation helped to reshape the popular image of the west from a malevolent wilderness to a region possessed of a vast `fertile belt' stretching from Lake of the Woods to the Rocky Mountains.

		And in 1857, the post trader at Fort Frances informed Henry Youle Hind that snow characteristically accumulated to a depth of four feet.
		Henry Youle Hind reported extreme low water in 1858–lake levels were four to five feet below water lines on the rocky shores–and he noted that Indians attributed this condition to the light snowfall in the winter of 1857-58.
		Some historical data could be useful to natural resource managers for establishing what was within the usual range of high and low water levels during the fur trade era, rather than providing examples of high and low extremes.

		In the mid nineteenth century British geological and botanical expeditions led by Henry Youle Hind and John Palliser went into the North West.
		They found an abundance of resources, and assessed that parts of the plains region were suitable for farming, and other activities.
