Germaine Warkentin

4.9/5 (15658 ratings)

Description:Radisson's writings, characterized in parts by hubris and in others by contradiction, provoke many questions. Was he a semi-literate woodsman? Are his accounts of Native life ethnographically reliable? Can he be trusted to tell the truth about himself? How important were his explorations? All these questions are raised in this first critical edition of Radisson's writings in both English and French, which includes three previously unknown documents. While Pierre-Esprit Radisson remains a North American icon, the interpretation of his career presents a vexing historical problem: who in fact was this "mercurial genius?" Germaine Warkentin's richly annotated new edition of Radisson's writings brings us closer to an answer.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
