A propos de cet article

352 pp. with nineteen illustrations, an index, and three appendices, including Isham's journal entries from 1746-1747; his observations on Indigenous peoples,; biographical information about Isham. Navy cloth binding is unfaded, and the gilt lettering on the spine is crisp. Cloth at upper spine is slightly folded down, and there are a couple of small spots on front and back covers. In unread condition, as many pages have not even been cut open. "James Isham began his career with the Hudson’s Bay Company in 1732 and served at the bay continuously, with brief visits to England in 1737, 1745, 1748, and 1758, until his death. Although his English style, grammar, and spelling are always eccentric, his writings stand out as essential source-material for any approach to the fur trade of the 18th century, for an understanding of the problems of the HBC as it faced challenge and opposition, and for a study of the flora and fauna of Rupert’s Land. Isham was at once a skilled and understanding trader, a perceptive planner and strategist, and a conscientious and observant natural historian." - Dictionary of Canadian Biography. Oversized book may require additional shipping.…
