To the preface de Windt notes that he intended this work to be about travelling from New York to Paris by land, however that plan never came to fruition. Instead 'my cloud, however, has its silver lining, seeing that the first part of our voyage lay through a region then known by name to perhaps a dozen white men, but now a byworth throughout the civilised world: Klondike'.
