Yet, as Ken McGoogan reveals, Samuel Hearne’s place in the history books has been a subject hotly disputed over the past two centuries. This fascinating saga, a skillful blend of literary detective work and finely imagined narrative, delights and surprises as it restores Hearne’s rightful place in history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"right\"\u003ePREVIOUS EDITION: 0-00-200098-9 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePRAISE FOR \u003cem\u003eANCIENT MARINER\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Brisk, readable books about great Englishmen don’t come much better than this.
