Koo Koo Sint - The Star Gazer, David Thompson
David Thompson was an incredible explorer, mapmaker and fur trader. I found these videos about him on youtube. When you realize how huge a task it was 200 years ago and how many miles he traveled, it is almost unbelieveable. The first part is mostly about his life in England before he sailed to Hudson's Bay. The rest of the videos are only a little bit about Thompson, mostly about wilderness survival, etc. I keep waiting for Will to write a movie script about him. Come on, Will. Somebody needs to tell his story.
