Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book features the transcribed minutes of the Hudson's Bay Company's Northern Department Council meetings. The minutes begin in 1833 where Governor George Simpson was unable to attend the usual Council meetings. Under the direction of Chief Factor J.D. Cameron, the group met to discuss various aspects of the company's business and trade in the districts of the vast territory, including the Athabasca, English River, Saskatchewan, Swan River, Red River, Lac La Pluie, Norway House, and York Factory districts. The author's detailed records provide valuable insights into the inner workings and daily activities of the fur trade, such as the organization of brigades, the challenges of managing Indigenous trade relations, the importance of leather and food supplies, and the difficulties of operating in harsh climates. This book is a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the history of the fur trade and its impact on the development of Canada.
