Encyclopedia Britannica



MACKENZIE, SIR ALEXANDER (c. 1755-1820)

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 251 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LUP-MAL
MACKENZIE, SIR ALEXANDER (c. 1755-1820) , Canadian explorer, was probably a native of
Inverness
 . Emigrating to
North America at an early age, he was for several years engaged in the fur
trade
  at Fort Chippewyan, at the head of Lake
Athabasca
 , and it was here that his schemes of travel were formed. His first journey, made in 1789, was from Fort Chippewyan along the
Great
  Slave Lake, and down the river which now bears his name to the Arctic Ocean; and his second, made in 1792 and 1793, from Fort Chippewyan across the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific
coast
  near Cape Menzies. He wrote an account of these journeys, Voyages on the River St Lawrence and throug''a the Continent of North America to the Frozen and Pacific Ocean,; (London, 18o1), which is of considerable
interest
  from the information it contains about the native tribes. It is prefaced by an historical dissertation on the Canadian fur
trade
 . Amassing considerable wealth, Mackenzie was knighted in 1802, and later settled in
Scotland
 . He died at Mulnain, near Dunkeld, on the 11th of
March
  182o.
