Extractions: Re-Thinking Geographical Exploration as Intelligence Collection : The Example of Lewis and Clarks Corps of Discovery Carol Medlicott Introduction Among geographers and historians of ideas there has been increased attention in recent years to the processes brought to bear in the construction of knowledge about distant places by the Western powers, particularly during two periods, the Age of Exploration and the Enlightenment. Producers of geographic and cartographic knowledge that is, authors and compilers of travel accounts, atlases, maps, and other geographic texts were not always direct participants in voyages of exploration. Consequently, the ways in which trust and credibility were established between those gathering geographic information and those consuming it have come under scrutiny. Moreover, scholars have observed that the texts produced through geographical exploration amount to power-knowledge, after Foucault, who posits that bodies of knowledge are necessarily tied to systems of social control. Maps are one such form of power-knowledge

During this time he made voyages to the Arctic and Pacific oceans. Between these explorations he went to England to learn navigational science. In 1801 he returned to England to publish Voyages from Montreal, on the River St. Laurence, through the Continent of North America which chronicled his exploits in western Canada. After being knighted for his achievements in exploration, Mackenzie acted as a statesman in urging Britain to assert control over the Pacific Northwest.

Extractions: Sir Alexander Mackenzie the Scottish Bulldog An article for the April 1999 Deep Cove Crier Sir Alexander Mackenzie ranks as one of the most remarkable persons of North American wilderness history and, indeed, as one of the greatest travelers of all time. His transcontinental crossing predated (and indeed inspired) the more famous Lewis and Clark American expedition by twelve years. Even Bernard De Voto, the well-known Utah-born historian said of Mackenzie, "In courage, in the faculty of command, in ability to meet the unforeseen with resources of craft and skill, in the will that cannot be overborne, he has had no superior in the history of American exploration." I remember singing around the YMCA Camp Elphinstone and Camp Howdy campfires: This Land is your Land, This Land is My Land, from the Arctic Circle to the Great Lake Waters, from the Atlantic Ocean to Vancouver Island, this Land was made for you and me". In Mackenzie was realized the dream of a Canada stretching from sea to sea. Beneath the lion and the unicorn supporting the coat of arms of Canada are the Latin words: A MARI USQUE AD MARE, taken from a Biblical text, He shall have dominion also from sea to sea and from the river to the ends of the earth. Without Alexander Mackenzie (and his NorWester friends Simon Fraser and David Thompson), Canada would have lost her entire Pacific Coast, being shut off from any access to the sea. In 1764, Alexander Mackenzie was born in Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis, a windswept, rugged island in the Outer Hebrides off the west coast of Scotland. When Alexander was ten, his mom died. Neighbours, knowing he had memorized long passages from the Bible, predicted that Alexander would become a clergyman. Through the local pastors library, he learned about astronomy and the use of telescopes. At age 13, Alexander tabulated all the animal and plant life in the Hebrides, and he and his pastor tried unsuccessfully to get it published in London.
