Thomas Walker (Explorer)

Dr Thomas Walker was an English physician and explorer who led an expedition to what was then the Transalleghany area of British North America in the mid-18th century. He was responsible for naming what is now known as the Cumberland Plateau and by extension the Cumberland River for his friend the Duke of Cumberland. His party were some of the first Englishmen to see this area – previous white explorers were largely of Spanish and French origins.
