A History of Canada in Ten Maps: Epic Stories of Charting a Mysterious Land, Shoalts, Adam. Published by Allen Lane, 2017. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall., 344pp. with glossy photos of maps. Quarter tan cloth over tan boards, gilt spine titles. Tiny inked letter to free endpaper and otherwise appears in fine, unread condition. Light top edge curl to dustjacket which is otherwise, fine.
Adam Shoalts, one of Canada's foremost explorers, tells the stories behind centuries old maps, and how they came to shape what became Canada. Starting with the Skalholt Map, compiled by a Viking map maker a millennium ago and now lost, Shoalts traces the rise of New France, the quest for a route to China, the gathering momentum of the fur trade, the clashes between Britain's North American colonies and the penetration of the Arctic darkness. Combining storytelling, cartography, geography, archaeology and history, this book shows us Canada in a way we've never seen it before.
