CONTENTS DESCRIPTION: This is the first complete, annotated publication of Fraser's letters and journals; as such, are of extreme value. Simon Fraser, born in Vermont, was one of the earliest explorers of European descent to travel the interior of British Columbia and, in 1808, became the first to descend the Fraser River. He became the second European to cross the North American continent to the Pacific, second only to Alexander MacKenzie. During this journey, he was accompanied by native guides and French-Canadian. The expedition down on the river that now bears his name is considered one of Canada s greatest explorations. NOTE: Shipping to Canada will be based on weight and adjusted accordingly; this book is smaller than average. N° de ref. del artículo 580405
