Complex, headstrong, curious, and resourceful, David Thompson is a hero in Canada, yet has remained largely unknown in the United States. Between 1801 and 1812, this fur trader, explorer, and cartographer established two viable trade routes across the Rocky Mountains in Canada and systematically surveyed the entire 1250-mile course of the Columbian River. In succeeding years he distilled his mathematical notations from dozens of journal notebooks into the first maps of the northwest quadrant of North America.

Not a driving book

My husband and I planned to listen to this as we drove cross-country on a canoe trip. This book does not lend itself to that environment as it is hard to “get into”, and we found the narration to be quite robotic.
