About This Book

The volume recounts the expansion of fur-trade enterprises across the Canadian Northwest, following voyageurs and brigades as they navigate rivers, portages, and trading posts. It describes intense commercial rivalry and episodes of violence between competing companies, the social and economic life of wintering partners and Indigenous trade networks, and the arrival of colonists that produced settlement conflicts at Red River. The narrative examines paths of exploration toward the Pacific, the consolidation and reorganization of trading companies, and the gradual shift from itinerant fur commerce toward permanent colonial administration and settlement.
