Book Description

From Streeter: This is the classic account of Mackenzie's journey from Fort Chipeway on Lake Athabasca, here called Lake of the Hills, down the river which bears his name to the sea and back in 1789. Even more important is the journal of the journey from the "New Establishment" on the Peace River to the Pacific Ocean (actually to "Mackenzie's Rock" on Dean Channel), and the return to Fort Chipeway. This journey marked the first crossing of the continent by white men.
