Moose Lake and its neighbours : from pre-contact to 1821

Shirritt-Beaumont, Raymond Morris 1942- (Author). Podolsky, Lori. (Added Author). Frontier School Division No. 48 (Added Author).

Summary: This Publication focuses on the fifty-year period leading up to the union of the North West and Hudson's Bay Companies in 1821. This was an exciting time in the fur trade, when intense competition between the two giant fur trade companies meant lower prices for their Aboriginal hunting partners. This time period produced some colourful characters, like Alexander Kennedy, Governor William Williams, and Colin Robertson of the HBC, and NWC men like George Nelson and Simon McGillivary. Notable Aboriginal hunters included Messinakeshick and Wapusk, men who had originally lived in the region about York Factory, but who had migrated inland with the traders.
