Description:
"In the first of three volumes that will finally bring all of David Thompson's writings together, editor William Moreau presents the Travels narrative as it existed in 1850, when the author was forced to abandon the work, and supplements it with a textual introduction, extensive annotations, and historical and modern maps." "The definitive collection of Thompson's works, The Writings of David Thompson will present one of North America's most important early travellers and surveyors and his world to a whole new generation of readers." --Book Jacket.
