Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. William Epps Cormack (May 5, 1796 April 30, 1868) was a Scottish explorer, philanthropist, agriculturalist and author, born St. John''s, Newfoundland. Cormack was the first European to journey across the interior of the island. Cormack studied at the University of Glasgow and the University of Edinburgh. Then in 1818 he left Scotland to lead a group of Scottish emigrants to Prince Edward Island where they settled on the Hunter River near Charlottetown. In 1822, he returned to his native Newfoundland to carry on some family business and property interests. Cormack decided to undertake a venture never before attempted by a European, to explore the interior of Newfoundland. His other goal was to make contact with the Beothuk and to establish friendly relationship with the few surviving native peoples.
