This story is a human drama set in the far north and is the little-known story of Henry Kelsey, ambassador - scout for the Hudson's Bay Company. As scarcely more than a lad, in 1684, the young book-keeper was fired with ambition by the deeds of such men as Pierre Radisson. Convinced of the necessity for the English to make common cause and win the friendship of the Indians native to the area, he spent years with them, learned their language, won their friendship, and secured their furs and their land for England. Mistapasis, as the ""little giant"" was called by his Indian associates, his journal was discovered in an Irish castle in the 1930's.
