Sobre este artículo
Seattle: Sasquash, 1994. First edition. A fine copy bound in blue leatherette with gilt illustration and lettering in a fine jacket. Jack McMaster. Signed by the author in the year of publication. A true story of adventure, Nisbet carefully 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 Inland Northwest. Thompson was the first person to chart the entire length of the Columbia River, and his wilderness expeditions are become the stuff of legend. Nisbet tracks the explorer across the continent, 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. 280 pages with index, chronology and further reading. Illustrated with maps.
