    Interview- Best Selling Canadian Author Adam Shoalts

    Canada’s greatest modern-day explorer sets out into the arctic wilderness to solve a mystery more than 100 years old. Shoalts discusses his brand new book-Vanished Beyond the Map: The Mystery of Lost Explorer Hubert Darrell, the kindness of strangers, the philosophy of respecting nature, &  physical and mental limitations of being human.  "In November 1910, explorer Hubert Darrell vanished in the Northwest Territories. A prospector swept up in the Klondike Gold Rush, Darrell made his name as an expert guide, trapper, & restless wanderer, venturing where few others dared. At a time when travel by dogsled in the North was the norm, Darrell became legendary for traversing thousands of kilometres alone and on foot; ranging over mountains and across windswept tundra from Alaska to Hudson Bay...he helped rescue sailors trapped in sea ice, led Mounties on their patrols, and even guided some of the era’s most famous explorers. Roald Amundsen, the first person to reach the South Pole, held Darrell in awe, remarking once that with men like him, he could go to the moon.  Contemporaries regarded Darrell as the hardiest, most competent explorer of his day. Shoalts traces Darrell's trail of letters, journals, and hand-drawn maps... the most epic of unknown cold cases and Canadian mysteries. Faded clues, forgotten routes... searching for cabin ruins & old campsites. Detective story. Biography.  First-person adventure narrative, Vanished Beyond the Map combines expeditions with history to solve one the coldest of cases." This discussion emphasizes the significance of daily adventures & role of exploration in inspiring others, appreciating what Canada has to offer. Shoalts delves into the life of Darrell, a forgotten, who vanished in 1910. He discusses Darrell's extraordinary skills, mysterious disappearance, & the quest to uncover his story. Shoalts reflects on the allure of exploration, the impact of geography on history, and the importance of inspiring future generations to connect with nature.
