Wanderers & Nomads: True Stories of Eccentric and Wild Explorers in the Americas by award-winning Canadian history book writer Stephen R. Bown is a collection of his columns from the
Canada's History (
Wikipedia) magazine
formerly known as The Beaver (which IMHO, they should have kept the name of, because you never know which body part the words "Canada" or "history" will become crude slang for in another 90 years and why give up on your own history just to pander to the ignorance of others who probably aren't even reading your mag?) &
Alaska magazine (
Wikipedia) between 1997 and 2010.
Wanderers and Nomads is a collection of fifteen true stories of historical adventurers and travelers in the Americas. From the first tourist voyage in 1536 that ended in shipwreck and cannibalism in Newfoundland, to the four year Arctic survival epic of Captain John Ross in the 1830s, to Lavrenity Zagoskin's first Russian scientific expedition in Alaska in 1842, to a duo of British spies scouting Old Oregon for military installations in 1845, these tales will be sure to bring to light shocking and little-known vignettes from an era when most of North America was still a frontier. With fourteen maps and dozens of historical images.
