Publication Date:	1962
Description:	This volume is a renewed examination of the writings of David Thompson, explorer and surveyor for the Hudson's Bay and North West Companies, which had been the subject of a 1916 Society volume by editor J.B. Tyrrell. While Tyrrell's work popularized the explorer and author, the volume suffered from "beatifications of a historical character," according to editor Richard Glover of the new volume. Glover was determined to "recognize facts which are damaging to the hagiographical myth that has long hidden the real man, and there should be no shirking the task of representing him as he really was."
