In 1993, Fiennes and Dr. Mike Stroud made the first unsupported walk across the continent of Antarctica, each man dragging a 500-pound sledge. Fiennes holds many world exploration records.

He deleted it from his language and omitted it from his words. Opals, moonstones, owls and oaks could not possibly be his items of choice. He preferred emeralds and rubies, sapphires and maps. At least those things had no "O". Black wanted everyone to follow his lead and alter their interest and change their language. So, locksmiths became lcksmith and the bootmaker was soon a btmaker and people whispered like conspirators when they said certain names. Soon parents reading rhymes to their children said the cw jumped ver the mn, and the dish ran away with the spn, the clockshop became clckshp, and the toymaker a tymaker. Black removed a single letter from his world and set out on a search for precious jewels and treasure. The villagers decided four words with an O in them should not be lost - HOPE, LOVE and VALOR - and the fourth most important word is the whole point of THE WONDERFUL O.

Many important archaeological sites, distinguished by copper artifacts, are found along the Coppermine. It was stories of these copper deposits that brought Samuel Hearne to the area in 1771. Hearne's documented overland journey to the river, and the massacre he witnessed at Bloody Falls, brought the Coppermine into the history books. Other explorers, such as Sir John Franklin, soon followed and the Coppermine became an important exploration and fur trade route. The river continues to support the Inuit subsistence lifestyle. Bloody Fall on the lower Coppermine River is an area of great scenic and historic interest. For more on Bloody Fall, check out this web site . Photo by Michael Peake.

History Council Meetings Recreation Pow Wow Days ... Town Office David Thompson, HE HAS BEEN CALLED the world's greatest land geographer. Certainly no man of his time saw the rivers, lands and peoples of the western reaches of our continent with a vision so clear. His precision maps remained the official maps of western Canada for a hundred years and his perceptive writing have enabled us to see the aboriginal peoples of the early fur trade and to know the ways of a world long since vanished. Yet, less than a hundred years ago, his name was known only to a few. Even today, there is no known portrait of David Thompson and we remain unable to picture him other than be dwelling on his known similarity to two other historical figures: John Bunyan and John Philpot Curran. A Welsh boy at Hudson's Bay In 1784, as a 14-year-old welsh boy in London's Grey coat charity school, David Thompson accepted an apprenticeship with the Hudson's Bay Company to learn inland surveying at the remote fur trade posts of Hudson's Bay. After working under men such as Samuel Hearne and Philip Turnor, his real lifework began when, at the age of 27, he went over to the rival Montreal-based North West Company. At Ile-a-la-Crosse (Saskatchewan) he married Charlotte Small, a 14-year-old Cree-Scots mixed blood girl who bore him 13 children (five in the wilderness) and remained his closest companion throughout his life. His three challenges He was charged with three duties in addition to establishing trade with the Indians: to locate and map the Company's posts astronomically; to determine the source of the Mississippi River; and to gather large fossil bones. In the first two duties he succeeded in a way that no other man could have surpassed. The third duty of finding large fossil bones was ironically fulfilled one hundred years later by David Thompson's biographer, J B Tyrell of the Canadian Geological Survey, who was the first to discover dinosaur bones in western Canada near what is now the Royal Tyrrel museum of Paleontology.

60. The Life Of David Thompson innocent girl, too good for this world.' (Bond, 188 and Jennifer SH Brown, The NewPeoples Being Glover, Richard (ed.), david thompson's Narrative, 17841812. http://www.northwestjournal.ca/V1.htm

Art. I. The Life of David Thompson The travels and explorations of this intrepid explorer are recounted. David Thompson was born in London, England, on April 30, 1770. His parents were Welsh, and of little means. His father died when he was two, and at the tender age of seven, he was enrolled by his mother in the historic 'Grey Coat' charity school near Westminster Abbey. Having shown an aptitude for mathematics, his education was oriented towards preparing him for life as a midshipman in the Royal Navy. His studies included algebra, trigonometry, geography, and navigation using 'practical astronomy'. Over the years, the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) made periodic requests to the school for students to be apprenticed to the North American fur trade. Many of these students would later receive training from Philip Turnor, the HBC's first chief surveyor. Among these pupils were Joseph Hansom, George Hudson, John Hodgson, and George Donald. As Thompson neared the end of his education, the Hudson's Bay Company asked for four more apprentices. Only two were eligible at that time ; one of them was the fourteen-year-old David Thompson. In May 1784, he set sail for Hudson's Bay aboard the Prince Rupert . He never saw his mother or England again. It is not known what duties he may have performed during the voyage, but he owned a Hadley's quadrant when he left England, presented to him when he finished school. The Hadley's quadrant was a double-mirrored navigational instrument which could measure angles up to ninety degrees. In 1785, he had to leave this quadrant behind at Churchill when he was transferred to York Factory, expecting it to be forwarded to him eventually. He apparently never used it again, since in 1790 it was requisitioned by Joseph Colen for use aboard the York Factory sloop. Thompson's early work in America did not include surveying. He later wrote '[in 1789] I regained my mathematical education...', suggesting he had become quite rusty (Glover, 55).
