Peter Fidler: Canadian Explorer

By James G. MacGregor

Peter Fidler was one of Canada's greatest exploratory surveyors, but also one of the least known. Trained by the Hudson's Bay Company, along with the famous David Thompson, Fidler went on to travel the length and breadth of western Canada, laying the framework for all future maps of the area.With sextant in hand, he covered over 48,000 miles, usually as the first white man ever to set foot on the land. This fascinating story brings to life the adventures of this dedicated and seemingly tireless explorer.J.G. MacGregor moved from Scotland to Canada as a young boy. His passion for western Canadian history inspired him to write some twenty books, many of which became bestsellers.
