I'll have a look at this one, sounds interesting.The Mapmaker's Eye - David Thompson on the Columbia Plateau (by Jack Nisbet)
An account of David Thompson's explorations of western North America in the late 1700s / early 1800s under the umbrella of the Hudson Bay Company and the North West Company. He was mapping the Columbia Plateau and the Rockies, trying to find an East - West passage to expand the trading empires of the companies, and was also fur trading with the indigenous peoples (First Nations), many peoples of which had not met Europeans before. Members of the First Nations were often taken on as guides or employees on the various exploration trips.
Quite fascinating.
