About This Book

The narrative chronicles Lord Selkirk's project to establish a settlement in the Red River region, following the grant of vast Hudson's Bay Company lands and the recruitment of settlers in Scotland and Ireland. It traces preparations, voyages, and early winters, profiles key agents and leaders, and recounts clashes with the North-West Company and local tensions culminating in violent incidents. Maps, illustrations, and documentary material accompany descriptions of forts, settlements, and the challenges of frontier life, while chapters examine administrative decisions, supply difficulties, and the evolving relations among settlers, Indigenous peoples, and fur-trade interests.
