Episode Details

David Thompson is my favourite Canadian historical figure, but there is another person who is part of his story and played a major role in his success; his wife...Charlotte Small. Together, the couple were married for 58 years, having 11 children, several of whom were born and raised while exploring. She is a fascinating person, and much more than a footnote in the story of Thompson.
