Summary:
The sweeping, epic story of the mysterious land that came to be called "Canada". Every map tells a story. And every map has a purpose - it invites us to go somewhere we've never been. It's an account of what we know, but also a trace of what we long for. Ten Maps conjures the world as it appeared to those who were called upon to map it. What would the new world look like to wandering Vikings, who thought they had drifted into a land of mythical creatures, or Samuel de Champlain, who had no idea of the vastness of the landmass just beyond the treeline? Adam Shoalts, one of Canada's foremost explorers, tells the stories behind these centuries old maps. It's a story that brings to life the characters and the bloody disputes that forged our history, by showing us what the world looked like before it entered the history books. Combining storytelling, cartography, geography, archaeology and of course history. Adam Shoalts embarked on a 4,000 km solo journey across Canada's arctic, which he wrote about in his book Alone Against the North. He's an historian, archaeologist, and geographer.
