Like the others, it collects work written over roughly a decade. Ideas begun in one book are reworked in the others. All the important questions remain open. Returns is thus not a conclusion, the completion of a trilogy. It belongs to a continuing series of reflections, responses to changing times. In ret- rospect, how can these times be understood? What larger historical developments, shifting pressures and limits, have shaped this course of thinking and writing? Situating one’s own work historically, with limited hindsight, is a risky exercise.

LEES A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2006 Copyright 2006 By Cynthia C. Lees ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to the members of my supervisory committee, five professors who have contributed unfailingly helpful suggestions during the writing process. I consider myself fortunate to have had the expert guidance of professors Hélène Blondeau, William Calin, David Leverenz, and Jane Moss. Most of all, I am grateful to Dr. Carol J. Murphy, chair of the committee, for her concise editing, insightful comments, and encouragement throughout the project. Also, I wish to recognize the invaluable contributions of Robert Perreault, author, historian, and Franco- American, a scholar who lives his heritage proudly.

Left camp in Bugaboo Creek 03.20 and crossed the pass between Snow Patch and Bugaboo Spire, 08.20 (see 'A.A.J.' 1931, vol. i, No. 3, pp. 292-97). Bore N.W. across to the basin of the Warren Glacier (breakfast 09.00 to 09.45 by the big medial moraine near a remarkable glacier lake draining by a canal formed of crevasses for over a mile to theN.). Proceeded N.W. and descended into the head of a glacier basin draining S. into Howell Creek. Up again on to the northern neve slopes of a chain of minor peaks, from which a second considerable descent to theW. had to be made in order to mount to the foot of the N. ridge of 'Mount Conrad,' by which, over easy snow slopes, the summit was gained at 16.00. A sharp rocky peak entirely surrounded by large glacier systems. The name Mt. Jeannie, from Robert Burns's wife, was suggested in a note left on the summit; but, since this was Conrad Kain's final expedition, the name Mt. Conrad is being proposed to the Geographic Board of Canada. The route was retraced to the breakfast place and a descent to a timber-line bivouac made down Warren Glacier. It is pleasant to recall with what fine energy and high spirits Conrad Kain enjoyed this the last of his innumerable first ascent8 .
