Item description from seller

First Edition. Original publisher's red cloth binding with gilt lettering on front cover and spine (spine faded to a light beige). 6 1/4" x 9." Pages xxxvi, [3] 4-370, complete. Appendix A, Appendix B, and Index in back. One folding map laid in back pocket, complete. Pages are very clean and intact except for light age toning and small spots of foxing limited to edges of text block. Covers are very clean and intact except for sunning or fading along spine. Binding is somewhat shaken but still strong and holding. A Very Good copy. Volume XXXI of the Harvard Historical Studies. This volume contains the text of a journal kept by George Simpson (c. 1792-1860), a Scottish explorer, entrepreneur, and colonial governor of the Hudson's Bay Company, during his 1824-1825 expedition from York Factory to Fort George and back.

His account opens with his embarkation in a North canoe on Hudson Bay bound for the Pacific and for the work of reorganizing this trade. He gives a lively narrative of his swift journey across the continent, with comments interspersed on the state of trade along his route. In Oregon the record becomes a record of Indian life, of trade problems, of the slashing reforms by which he revived a demoralized and profitless industry, and of his plans for holding possession of the country against any future competition of Americans. By the spring of 1825 he was on his way back to the east to report the results of his tour to his Council, a journey which proved to be a perilous one, and which is correspondingly exciting in the narrative.".…
