First Crossing recounts an adventure of epic proportions -- in equal parts romantic, historically significant and compelling. It is the story of Canada's most famous explorer, Alexander Mackenzie, who in 1793 became the first person to cross the continent of North America north of Mexico. With a mix of wonderfully readable text, historical and contemporary photographs, and archival maps and illustrations, here is fresh insight into what drove Mackenzie to undertake his dramatic and dangerous quest for the Pacific Ocean, and how his daring secured Canada's legacy.

From Streeter: This is the classic account of Mackenzie's journey from Fort Chipeway on Lake Athabasca, here called Lake of the Hills, down the river which bears his name to the sea and back in 1789. Even more important is the journal of the journey from the "New Establishment" on the Peace River to the Pacific Ocean (actually to "Mackenzie's Rock" on Dean Channel), and the return to Fort Chipeway. This journey marked the first crossing of the continent by white men.
