The book is a first-hand account of Mackenzie's journey from Fort Chipewyan, located in present-day Alberta, to the Pacific Ocean, which he reached on July 20, 1793.The book is a journal of Mackenzie's experiences and observations during his journey, which took him through the rugged terrain of the Rocky Mountains and the uncharted wilderness of what is now British Columbia. He encountered many challenges along the way, including hostile Indigenous peoples, difficult weather conditions, and treacherous waterways.Mackenzie's journal provides a fascinating glimpse into the early days of European exploration and colonization in Canada, as well as the interactions between Indigenous peoples and European explorers. It also sheds light on the natural history of the region, including descriptions of flora and fauna that were previously unknown to Europeans.Overall, First Man West: Alexander Mackenzie's Journal Of His Voyage To The Pacific Coast Of Canada In 1793 is a valuable historical document that offers a unique perspective on the early days of Canadian exploration and colonization.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
