My favorite part of Canadian history is Canada's involvement in the different wars.
I am from Yellowknife, N.T. so this subject touches me personally. I also have family connections with arctic exploration.
My favorite part of Canadian history is the history of social issues because these social issues can have a large impact on its course.
The history of the Arctic has a draw on me in the same way that it has drawn so many others: with power and with beauty.
Franklin's maps and the subsequent search for his last expedition, provided the information needed to expand into this area.
In past months, headlines filled with news about the discovery of Franklin's voyage. I thought it would be fun to explore the full story.
