Read the following passage.
A. David Thompson was born in London on April 30, 1770, and received basic training in navigation at the Grey Coat mathematical school. In May 1784 he began a seven-year apprenticeship with the Hudson's Bay Company. In December 1788 he seriously fractured his right leg in a sled accident. During the slow recovery that followed, he spent a winter studying mathematics, surveying and astronomy with the company surveyor Philip Turnor. By the next spring, however, he had lost the sight in his right eye, and for that reason Turnor did not consider him for the expedition to Lake Athabasca.
B. Thompson built his maps on a series of fixed points, usually trading posts. He located each point by astronomical observations, which gave him its latitude and longitude. Between those points he took direction from a compass and judged distance by the time a journey had taken, and these distance figures are often inconsistent. In 1814 he completed a large map of the northwest, reaching from Lake Superior to the Pacific. He sent it to the North West Company, and for many years it hung in the great hall at Fort William, as the post at Kaministiquia had been renamed in 1807.
C. On May 23, 1797, Thompson left the Hudson's Bay Company to join its rival, the North West Company, without giving the year's notice that his contract required. In 1799 he married Charlotte Small, who was 13 at the time and had Scottish and Cree parents, and they later had 13 children. On June 25, 1807, he crossed the Rockies through the pass later named for the trader Joseph Howse. In 1811 he travelled down the Columbia River, but when he reached Fort Astoria on July 15, he found that the Pacific Fur Company was already there.
D. In 1817 Thompson became astronomer and surveyor for a commission fixing the border with the United States. His fortunes began to fall in 1825, when McGillivrays, Thain and Company, the agent of the North West Company, went bankrupt and he lost a large part of his life savings. Later efforts to farm his land also failed. In Montreal he more than once pawned his instruments, and once even his coat. In August 1840, at the age of 70, he applied without success to be a clerk with the Hudson's Bay Company. In his last years he wrote an account of his travels, but by 1851 he was completely blind, and the manuscript was never finished.
