About This Item
Toronto: Penguin Canada [0-14-301351-3] 2002. (Hardcover) 256pp. Near fine in near fine dust jacket. Illustrated endpapers, illustrations, maps, appendix, index. The dust jacket is lightly faded along the spine. "Canadians have been confronted by this riddle since the first hunters appeared on the frozen northern tundra via the Bering land bridge. Our resonant memories are not of armed revolutionaries but of settlers and explorers - men brandishing maps rather than muskets. Canada's most enduring heroes are explorers: men like la Verendrye, who was among the first to venture deep into the continent; and David Thompson, who mapped nearly four million square kilometres of the Northwest in twenty-seven years before he died penniless in 1857". Book about la Verendrye & David Thompson. Locale: Canada; Northwest Territories--Canada. (Canada, Exploration, Explorers, Map-Making, Maps, Travel and Adventure).
