Narrative of the Discoveries on the North Coast of America : Effected by the Officers of the Hudson's Bay Company during the Years 1836–1839

Omtale

This account by Thomas Simpson (1808–1840) of his successful partial survey of the North-West Passage, for the Hudson's Bay Company, was published by his brother in 1843, following Simpson's alleged suicide. It sheds light on his talented, but difficult, character and on the contribution of trade interests to exploration.
