520			_a"David Thompson, the Explorer" by Charles Norris Cochrane is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the life of David Thompson, a prominent land surveyor and explorer in North America during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Through detailed narratives, it highlights his remarkable journeys, challenges, and contributions to the understanding of Canada's geography and fur trade. The opening of this work introduces David Thompson as a fourteen-year-old boy beginning his apprenticeship with the Hudson's Bay Company, set against the backdrop of England in 1783. It describes the circumstances of his early life, detailing the challenges he faced as an orphan and his subsequent education at the Grey Coat School. The chapter outlines his departure from London aboard the "Prince Rupert" to North America, giving a glimpse into his initial observations of the new landscape, including the extreme conditions of Hudson Bay, as he embarks on a life that would eventually define him as one of the greatest geographical surveyors of his time.
