The Explorers Podcast

In the first part of our series on Scottish Explorer Alexander Mackenzie we take a look at his early life including his move from Scotland to America. We follow Mackenzie as he becomes a part of the fur trading industry in Canada - which will eventually lead to his first expedition of exploration - a search for a route to the Pacific Coast - which will instead lead him to one of Canada's great waterways - the Mackenzie River.
