About This Item

Vancouver, Canada; Douglas & McIntyre; 1986.. First Edition; Demy 8vo; pp. 223; endpaper maps, frontispiece, text illustrated with numerous b/w. photographs and drawings, chronology, notes, select bibliography, index, bound in original black cloth, title lettered in silver on spine, dustjacket, very good copy. For hundreds of years the vision of a western sea route to the riches of the Orient haunted European adventurers. By the 1840s, thwarted by the Arctic in their efforts to find a Northwest Passage, merchant-explorers turned instead to an overland route, and the great age of railway building in North America began.
