Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Alexander Mackenzie became the first person to cross the continent of North America (north of Mexico) in 1793. With a mix of wonderfully readable text, historical maps, illustrations, and fullcolour photographs, author Derek Hayes offers engrossing insight into Mackenzie the man and his quest for the Pacific Ocean. This book leaves no doubt in the reader's mind about the scale of Mackenzie's achievement. It is illustrated with stunning colour photographs of Mackenzie's routes, archival photographs of the perilous rapids he traversed, and superb new material from the archives of the Hudson Bay Company, never before published.
