From the first European landfalls and Jacques Cartier to Champlain, the Hudson Bay explorers, Samuel Hearne and Alexander Mackenzie, Johnston tells the story of the men who crossed and mapped Canada, with chapters on its geography and its Indigenous and Inuit peoples. His preface frankly celebrates the white explorer, and the book’s racial attitudes are those of its Edwardian moment.
