Description

On this true story of adventure, creator 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 The usa, and his field journals give you 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 once the first person to chart all the route of the Columbia river, and his wilderness expeditions have develop into the stuff of legend. Jack Nisbet tracks the explorer around the content, interweaving his own observations with Thompson’s historical writings. The result is an engaging story of two men discovering the Northwest territory almost 200 years apart.
