Written in a clear yet engaging style, Mackenzies work stands out for its meticulous detail and striking observations about the diverse landscapes and Indigenous cultures he encountered. The two volumes reflect the spirit of Enlightenment-era exploration, blending geography with personal reflection, while challenging contemporary notions about the vast, untamed wilderness of North America. Alexander Mackenzie, a Scottish-Canadian explorer and fur trader, was driven by both commercial interests and a genuine curiosity about the untrammeled beauty of the New World. Born into a family of traders, he leveraged his experiences with Indigenous tribes and his intimate knowledge of the geography to document his remarkable journeys, making significant contributions to cartography and the understanding of North American natural history. His pioneering spirit and profound respect for the land and its people echo throughout his work, providing insight into the complexities of colonial expansion. This seminal work is an essential resource for readers interested in the exploration narratives of the late 18th century, offering a compelling blend of adventure, scientific inquiry, and cultural exchange. Scholars of North American history, geography, and Indigenous studies will find immense value in Mackenzies detailed descriptions and honest accounts, making it a must-read for anyone seeking to grasp the profound interactions between explorers and the continent.</p>...4293446Voyages from Montreal Through the Continent of North America (Vol. 1&2)3939https://www.gandhi.com.mx/voyages-from-montreal-through-the-continent-of-north-america--vol--1-2--8596547734291/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4035376/image.jpg?v=638889740481730000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20238596547734291_W3siaWQiOiIyYWZhOTE3My03YWIzLTQ0ODQtOTA4Mi0yZDljYTJiMGIxMGQiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjM5LCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjozOSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDctMjRUMDY6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d8596547734291_<p>Voyages from Montreal Through the Continent of North America to the Frozen and Pacific Oceans in 1789 and 1793 is an account of explorations and expeditions taken by a famous Scottish explorer Alexander Mackenzie. In 1789 he took, what later became known, as Mackenzie River expedition to the Arctic Ocean. Thinking that it would lead to Cook Inlet in Alaska, Mackenzie set out by canoe on the river known to the local people as the Dehcho on 3 July 1789. On 14 July he reached the Arctic Ocean, rather than the Pacific. Ironically he called the waterway "the River Disappointment," since the river did not prove to be the Northwest Passage, as he had hoped. The river later came to be known as the Mackenzie River in his honor. Mackenzie returned to Canada in 1792, set out once again to find a route to the Pacific, what he managed in the summer of 1973. Having done this, he had completed the first recorded transcontinental crossing of North America north of Mexico, 12 years before Lewis and Clark.</p>...(*_*)8596547734291_<p>In "Voyages from Montreal Through the Continent of North America (Vol. 1&2)," Alexander Mackenzie presents an intricate narrative that chronicles his arduous explorations across North America, charting a course through uncharted territories from Montreal to the Pacific.
