Product Description
This is an exciting recounting of the life of a 19th century doctor and explorer who worked for the Hudson's Bay Company, opened up vast tracts of land in the Canadian Arctic and may have been the true discoverer of the Northwest Passage.
About The Author
John Wilson was born in Scotland, but grew up on the Island of Skye and attended the University of St. Andrews, where he took an Honours B.Sc. in geology. He worked in that field for a number of years, but after settling in Canada, he embarked on a prolific writing career which has brought him acclaim and a number of award nominations. Specializing in historical and speculative fiction for children, he has published a number of books with Napoleon: the Weet trilogy and Righting Wrongs, a biography of Dr. Norman Bethune. He currently lives with his wife and children in Lantzville near Nanaimo on Vancouver Island.
Reader Reviews
The latest in the outstanding "Stories of Canada" series from Napoleon Publishing, Discovering The Arctic: The Story Of John Rae by John Wilson is an enthralling black-and-white history for young readers detailing the efforts of 19th century explorer John Rae. Black-and-white photographs nicely illustrate this amazing tale of one of the first Europeans to respect Inuit customs and who learned from their survival skills when he found himself dealing with harsh Arctic terrain. Rae's dramatic exploits, terrible findings, and vehement enemies are spoken of in clear terms that bring this remarkable and recommended biography to vivid life.
