Sir Alexander Mackenzie's Rock, End of the First Journey Across North America

Authors

Abstract

"Captain Bishop tells about the painstaking search of records and survey of the region to accurately trace Mackenzie's route from the mouth of the Bella Coola River to the famous rock ending the traveler's quest of the Pacific… The Portland Oregonian on November 30, 1924, declared editorially: 'In succeeding where less thorough research must have failed, British Columbian historians who have at last determined the precise terminus of Alexander Mackenzie's journey across the American continent in 1793 have set a commendable example."
