Summary

Published to great reviews in Canada, the US and the UK, Ancient Mariner tells the riveting story of how Samuel Hearne-a sailor at 12, a northern explorer at 24, an admirer of Native peoples-became the first European to reach the Arctic coast of North America. Yet, as Ken McGoogan reveals, Samuel Hearne's place in the history books has been a subject hotly disputed over the past two centuries. This fascinating saga, a skillful blend of literary detective work and finely imagined narrative, delights and surprises as it restores Hearne's rightful place in history
