In this true story of adventure; author Jack Nisbet re-creates the life and times of David Thompson—fur trader; explorer; surveyor; and mapmaker. From 1784 to 1812; Thompson explored western North America; and his field journals provide the earliest written accounts of the natural history and indigenous cultures of the what is now British Columbia; Alberta; Montana; Idaho; Washington; and Oregon. Thompson was the first person to chart the entire route of the Columbia river; and his wilderness expeditions have become the stuff of legend. Jack Nisbet tracks the explorer across the content; interweaving his own observations with Thompson’s historical writings. The result is a fascinating story of two men discovering the Northwest territory almost two hundred years apart.
