This moccasin belonged to Captain George Back (1796-1878). It was probably collected during one of the three overland journeys that he took part in to explore the north coast of America. The expeditions relied on the fur-trading posts and personnel for support. Their aims were scientific and geographical, the search for the North-West Passage was a high priority. Part of his ethnographic collection was bequeathed to Greenwich Hospital in 1900 by Mrs Eliza Back, widow of Sir George's nephew - the Reverend Henry Back.
