"Marvelous and compelling..."John Milloy, author of The Plains Cree and A National Crime "Where books on Canada, indigenous life, exploration, or genealogy are favorites, this historical account is a must." Henrietta Verma, Library Journal "Mitchell shows the human side of map-making through reconstructions of Turnor's daily life...The result is a wonderfully detailed and convincing portrait of early Canadian life in the era of Indigenous-European trade." Lyle Dick, Canada's History "Mitchell's work adds substantially to a deeper knowledge of Turnor, his life, his work, and to the extent possible, his character. It provides the first close study of his background, writings, career trajectory, and contributions to the mapping of North America."Jennifer Brown, author of Strangers in Blood: Fur Trade Company Families in Indian Country
