David Thompson was an Anglo-Canadian fur trader, surveyor, and cartographer, celebrated as "Koo-Koo-Sint" or "the Stargazer" by indigenous communities. In a career spanning vast distances and uncharted territories, Thompson traversed 90,000 kilometers, meticulously mapping 4.9 million square kilometers of North America. His unparalleled cartographic achievements have earned him the title of the "greatest practical land geographer the world has produced."

Travel alongside Thompson, guided by his vivid narratives and a mind teeming with unparalleled information about the wilderness and its native inhabitants. Immerse yourself in his storytelling, whether conjuring warring savages in the wilderness or braving the treacherous Rocky Mountains in a blinding snowstorm. David Thompson's legacy is one of adventure, exploration, and a boundless passion for the uncharted landscapes of North America.
