David Thompson, cartographe

1964 28 min
Leaving soon

Court métrage de fiction de la série Artisans de notre histoire, racontant l’histoire de David Thompson. Il a joint les rangs de la Compagnie de la Baie d'Hudson en 1784. Mais l'exploration de l'Ouest canadien et la cartographie l'intéressaient plus que le commerce des fourrures. C'est à lui que revient le mérite d'avoir découvert la route qui mène au Pacifique.
