BY KEN RAMSTEAD C HRISTOPHER COLUMBUS is the best known of the wanderers who charted the globe, but there were plenty of others. How well do you know them? To find out, navigate your way through the following questions.
We all know that Christopher Columbus "discovered" the New World in 1492. But Viking adventurers from the Old World beat him to it by almost five centuries. What name did they give their first settlement in North America?
Helluland: Go to 7
Markland: Go to 11

Close, me hearty. But Sir Francis Drake, in 1577-80, was only the first Englishman to circumnavigate the world. Back to 9 No, Marco Polo was more than 200 years too early to have heard of El Dorado, a fabulous land of gold. Stories of its riches drew many Spanish explorers to South America's interior in the 16th and 17th centuries. Try 19 again You're right on course. Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese seaman in the service of Spain, set sail in 1519 with five ships. After navigating through the South American strait that now bears his name, Magellan sailed into an ocean so calm that he named it the Pacific.

Montreal, May 15, 2005 • No 154 OPINION Chris Leithner THE NOR'WESTERS:
SOME TRULY GREAT CANADIANS [We are hampered] by a set of unprincipled agents of government on one side and by a speculating nobleman on the other – equally, it appears, bent on the same subject – to exclude Canada and Canadians from this too famous trade … The H.B. Company, you see, [we] intend to oppose seriously. I hope the ancient North West spirit will rouse with indignation. -William McGillivray by Chris Leithner In 2004, a nationwide contest organised by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation voted Tommy Douglas the "greatest Canadian of all time." More than 1.2 million votes were cast; and in feature programs broadcast on CBC Television, advocates made their cases for the Top Ten nominees. After a Final Showdown and one last chance to vote, the result was announced on 29 November.
If the list of Top Ten Canadians must contain four politicians (it obviously doesn't), then I say replace the present crop with

    From Tuesday, May 11 through to Thursday, May 13, we will be at the Telus Convention Centre for a full slate of technical sessions as well as a day of special sessions. Satinder Chopra and the technical team will showcase the innovative ideas and technology that are essential for the advancement of the science of geophysics. The convention is a great place to share these developments, so we encourage CSEG members to consider presenting a technical paper. Remember, it is you who are the driving force behind our exploration successes. The Exhibit Floor has been sold out in previous years, so sign up early. Carmen Swalwell and her committee are working hard at creating an Exhibit Floor with the leading companies in the field of geophysics. These exhibitors will be there to share their products and ideas essential to our geophysical work. New this year will be a charity auction on the Exhibit Floor on Tuesday, May 11. Make sure you take time to walk through the exhibit hall, check out the many items, and place your bids before the silent auction ends in happy hour between 4 pm and 5 pm on Tuesday. There will be a breakfast with the exhibitors and interpretation contest.

History The history of Canada was shaped by the encounter of its people with the rigors and riches of a vast new land. It was also marked by the achievements and conflicts of its diverse inhabitants—indigenous tribes and French, English, and other European immigrants. A pervasive influence was Canada's southern neighbor, the United States. A Meeting of Peoples North America, from which the country of Canada emerged, received large waves of immigrants from both the West and the East over many thousands of years. Native Americans In a series of migrations that occurred during the last stages of the Pleistocene Ice Age, Mongoloid peoples from Asia entered North America, probably crossing the Bering Strait.

    2-007: SIR ALEXANDER MACKENZIE By Dorthea Calverley In 1787 Peter Pond’s successor paddled into the Peace River country. He was twenty-four year old Alexander Mackenzie, a "brand new partner, recently appointed to replace Peter Pond in the rich Athabasca trade department" of the newly re-organized Northwest Company. He was destined not to be the first white man on the Peace, but the first to leave us a remaining written record of the area. Certainly he became its most famous figure. Little is known of his early life except that he came from Stornoway in the Outer Hebrides as a motherless boy of twelve. At the time the Seven Year War had ended but the American Revolutionary war was about to begin. England was poor; Scotland and the Isles, always poorer after the times of Bonnie Prince Charlie, were poorer still. The crofters or small farmers were being forced off their lands. Many like Mackenzie, father and son, found their way to the New England colonies. When the American Revolution almost immediately broke out the Mackenzies, loyal to the British Crown, were more akin to the Canadians who did not join in the Revolution. His father, a British officer, went back into the army, apparently, and died. He had sent his young son to Montreal for safety in 1779. Alexander probably attended a school of some kind for three years. At sixteen Alexander, and later Roderick, were apprenticed to the Montreal firm of Mr. Gregory, who later traded out of Detroit as the Gregory - McLeod firm and which still later was absorbed by the Northwesters.

    DAVID THOMSON, THE SCOTTISH FOUNDER OF NEW HAMPSHIRE... A GENTLEMAN, AND A SCHOLAR by Genevieve Cora Fraser PART 2 In 1622, David Thomson was referred to as a "gentleman" in at least two legal documents, the Indenture where he is styled " Dauid Thomson of Plymouth in the County of devon gentleman of those Parte ," and in the grant for Massachusetts signed by Ludvick, the Duke of Lennox; the Marquis of Hamilton; Thomas Howard, the Earl of Arundell and Surrey and others. As was noted, these individuals acting on behalf of the Council for New England " deputized, authorized and appointed, and in our place and stead have put David Thomson, Gent.,... to be our true and lawful attorney ..." (47) Earlier that year, Thomson was "appointed to attend the Lords, for a warrant to Mr. Attorney-General." In the introduction to the "Reports of Sir George Croke, Knight," we learn that the Attorney General at the time was Sir Thomas Coventry. Though Croke’s report primarily focuses on the reign of Charles the First, the documents cited make perfectly clear that any individual who pretends a "right to beare Armes, or Ensignes of gentry" might find himself hauled off to court to "disclayme the name and style of gentleman." Typically a judge might order the Defendent to attend the King of Arms, and the Officers of Arms, to inform them of "the truth and his right in the pedigree exhibited by him at Court, that the court might receive from them a certificate accordingly."

    Roald Amundsen (1872-1928) was a Norwegian polar explorer who was the first person to fly over the North Pole in a dirigible (May 11-13, 1926) and was the first person to reach the South Pole. Amundsen and his small expedition reached the South Pole on December 14, 1911, traveling by dog sled. Amundsen was also the first person to sail around the world through the Northeast and Northwest passages, from the Atlantic to the Pacific (in 1905). He was the first person to reach both the North and South Poles. Amundsen died in a plane crash attempting to rescue his friend, the Italian explorer Umberto Nobile who was lost in an airship.

    Captain Juan Bautista de Anza (1736-1788) was a Mexican-born trailblazer and explorer. He was the first person of European descent to establish an overland trail from Mexico to the northern Pacific coast of California (then called New Albion). He found a corridor through the desolate Sonoran Desert. His expeditions brought hundreds of settlers to California. He founded the cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Jose. De Anza was the commander of the presidio at Tubac.

    What to Bring? Settlers had to make sure they were properly supplied before setting out to the frontier. Students could work alone or in groups to develop a list of supplies required to travel to the prairies and start a farm before there were trains. They could compare this to the period after trains crossed the nation.
    Immigration Flag Timeline A variation on this idea would be to have a map with flags pinned to different regions. The years of immigration could be written under each flag.

    Alexander Mackenzie (1764 - 1820)
    Alexander Mackenzie, the first explorer to cross North America, was born in Scotland in 1764. At the age of ten, he emigrated to New York and four years later came to study in Montreal. At only 15 years old, Mackenzie became a clerk in the company of fur merchants Finlay and Gregory (which became Gregory, MacLeod and Company in 1783). Five years later, he was offered a share in the company on the condition that he went to Grand-Portage. Alexander Mackenzie

To acquire a fur trading monopoly from London, the North West Company promoted its explorations and its knowledge of the northwestern territory. The Company asked Mackenzie to spend the following winter with Peter Pond in Athabasca as he was to succeed him in the region.
