History of Canada in Ten Maps

This book tells the history of Canada and its people through maps, the earliest passed down to us from Vikings and then drawn and re-drawn by a diverse group of adventurers. And maps - no matter if drawn by a Cree warrior or refined by a mixed-descend fur trade are in the end always telling the stories of those struggling and striving in a vast and monumental landscape. This book did more than to tell the story of Canada's exploration, it gave me a deep appreciation for the vastness of this place and how impressive it was how humans navigated this continent.
