Über den Autor
Mark Wilson is a retired transportation writer who worked for newspapers and magazines in Canada and the U.S. His first job was as a tea boy with a British newspaper founded two years before the birth of Simon Fraser in 1776. He now lives in New Westminster, British Columbia, next to the river named after the doughty Scottish fur trader and explorer who descended the Fraser River to its mouth in 1808.
