Canada's Northwest Explorers
A 15 page paper discussing Samuel Hearne
(1745-1792), John Henry Lefroy (1817-1890) and Sir John Franklin (1786-1847), all explores of
the same region of extreme Northwest Canada. All had interest in the famed Northwest Passage,
but finding the passage was more than only a passing interest for him. Each of the explorers had
different motivations. Not all expeditions were successful, but there was value even in those that
were not. Bibliography lists 13 sources.
