"David Thompson" by James K.A. Smith explores the life and legacy of the renowned 19th-century explorer and fur trader. The narrative delves into Thompson’s adventurous spirit, intellect, and the profound encounters he had with Indigenous peoples throughout his journeys across North America. The book captures his remarkable cartographic achievements and the challenges he faced in navigating the wilderness, both physically and culturally. Through richly woven historical detail, it illuminates Thompson's significant contributions to exploration and geography, while also reflecting on themes of identity, belonging, and the intersections of different cultures during a transformative era in history.
