I just finished reading A History of Canada in Ten Maps by Adam Shoalts.
It's a must read for anyone who is interested in early Canadian explorers, their personalities, native leaders, and the hardships they all endured in mapping westward. Peter Ogden is in the book as is Rivet. A much better read than 'non fiction Canadian history ' genre sounds like it would be.
The book paints Ogden as an unstable force who killed those who got in his way. I imagine Julia must have been one tough lady to make it through marriage to him and the times they lived in.
