An Ethnohistorian in Rupert’s Land
In 1670, the ancient homeland of the Cree and Ojibwe people of Hudson Bay became known to the English entrepreneurs of the Hudson’s Bay Company as Rupert’s Land, after the founder and absentee landlord, Prince Rupert. For four decades, Jennifer S. H. Brown has examined the complex relationships that developed among the newcomers and the Algonquian communities—who hosted and tolerated the fur traders—and later, the missionaries, anthropologists, and others who found their way into Indigenous lives and territories. The eighteen essays gathered in this book explore Brown’s investigations into the surprising range of interactions among Indigenous people and newcomers as they met or obs...
From Rupert's Land to Canada
Dr. John E. Foster spent many years researching and interpreting the Metis, continually re-examining his own thinking about the fur trade and the West, trying to find new lines of inquiry across disciplinary boundaries, and, playing with ideas that re-imagined the Canadian West. In From Rupert's Land to Canada, in tribute to John's work, his friends and colleagues further explore themes related to "Native History and the Fur Trade," "Metis History," and the "Imagined West". Contributors include Michael Payne, Nicole St-Onge, Jan Grabowski, Jennifer Brown, Heather Rollason, Frits Pannekoek, Heather Devine, Gerhard Ens, Gerry Friesen, Ted Binnema, Ian MacLaren, Rod Macleod, Tom Flanagan and Glen Campbell.

The Fur Trade of the Little North
The early Canadian fur traders described the region of the Canadian Shield which lies north of Lake Superior and east of Lake Winnipeg as the "Le Petit Nord", distinguishing it from the vast area west and north of Lake Winnipeg denominated "Le Grand Nord". This study elucidates the historical and geographical development of the fur trade in the Little North. It is based primarily on the archival documents of the Hudson's Bay Company, held in the provincial archives of Manitoba in Winnipeg.

Keighley's memoirs cover his years as a trader for the Hudson's Bay Company from 1917 to 1938 and the years following, during which he worked as an independent trader until his retirement in 1963. Keighly worked mostly in northern Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario.
A Company of Businessmen
This examination of the Company's management focuses its place in the history of the expansion of Europe, and more particularly, on the management of long-distance trade as one aspect of that expansion. Central to this analysis are the objectives of the company, the way it maximized opportunities and minimized risk and uncertainty, the organization of its affairs to coordinate the barter trade in North America and the London fur market, and their influence on the long-term survival of the Company.
Civilizing the Wilderness
Eleven essays explore the dichotomy of "civilizing" and "wilderness" in 1850s Euro-British North America.
Undelivered Letters to Hudson's Bay Company Men on the Northwest Coast of America, 1830-57
In the early nineteenth century, when the Hudson’s Bay Company sent men to its furthest posts along the coast of North America’s Pacific Northwest, the letters of those who cared for those men followed them in the Company’s supply ships. Sometimes, these letters missed their objects – the men had returned to Britain, or deserted their ships, or died. The Company returned the correspondence to its London office and over the years amassed a file of “undelivered letters.” Many of these remained sealed for 150 years and until they were opened by archivist Judith Hudson Beattie, when the Company archives were moved to Canada. These letters tell the fascinating stories of ordinary peop...
