Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The North West Company A complete history of the North West Company is lacking. Chapters concerning its activities have appeared in books dealing with the Hudson´s Bay Company and in similar publications. Interest has been evinced chiefly in connection with the work of a few explorers like Alexander Mackenzie, with the Astoria incident, and, above all, with the events arising from the settlement commenced by Lord Selkirk on the Red River in territory which now forms part of the province of Manitoba. Publications which appeared during the existence of the North West Company, such as those bearing the names of Mackenzie and Selkirk and the anonymous On the Origin and Progress of the North-West Company of Canada, while valuable, do not treat the later years of the company. On the whole, the most notable work on the subject has been the prefatory "Esquisse" by Masson in the first volume of his work, Les bourgeois de la Compagnie du Nord-Ouest. It is the author´s hope that the following pages, while by no means a complete history, may yet prove to be of some utility as a study of the origin, activities, and end of this famous partnership of fur traders. Some of the material treated has not been utilized in previous works. But the final word will not be said until the business papers of the company come to light, providing they are still in existence. Search for them in Canada and England has been unavailing. Valuable papers on this subject may be contained in the archives of the Hudson´s Bay Company in London, but the present writer was unable to obtain permission to enter those preserves.
