Journals
by Alexander Mackenzie
“One man, two oceans, and a wilderness without a map.”
Witness the raw grit of a pioneer as he treks across the vast, uncharted Canadian wilderness to reach the shores of both the Arctic and Pacific Oceans. Through Alexander Mackenzie’s personal journals, you’ll experience the dangerous beauty of the fur trade and the profound encounters with Indigenous cultures that forever changed North America.
