Book Synopsis
David Thompson (1770-1857) is considered to have been the important surveyor of North America. Documenting Northwest Company's efforts to find trade routes across Canadian Rocky Mountains, this book reveals Thompson's interest in mapping the great river of the West sought by generations of explorers. It traces fur trade's westernmost expansion.

Trade Review
"Columbia Journals allows us to evaluate David Thompson more fully as an actor in the history of the west, and to understand more critically the assessment and misinterpretations made by a number of earlier researchers." Richard Ruggles, Queen's University, Ontario
