Abstract
"By piecing together the story of John Rowand's life on the plains from scores of documents, J.G. MacGregor has not only written a moving biography but has also provided an account of a time of exciting developments in the opening of a continent. Such famous explorers as David Thompson, Alexander Henry, and Simon Fraser were at the height of their careers. New passes through the Rockies were discussed, with Rowand himself being "the chief advocate of a route by way of Banff."--Back cover.
