Well, Prof. Althouse, if you lived a wee bit further North and were a good Canuck girl, you know about this already from the unofficial National Anthem of Canada.
Three centuries thereafter, I take passage overland
In the footsteps of brave Kelso, where his "sea of flowers" began
Watching cities rise before me, then behind me sink again
This tardiest explorer, driving hard across the plain.

By the way, is you care to google "Kelso", you'll get misled.
For some strange reason he never explained, Stan Rogers changed the name of Henry Kelsey to "Kelso" for the song.
