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.
Partners in Furs
An investigation of the effects of the fur trade on the social patterns of the Algonquian peoples living in the eastern James Bay region from 1600 to 1870.
The Fur Trade in Canada
A classic work of Canadian historical scholarship, first published in 1930. In his new introduction, A.J. Ray states that this book is argueably the most definitive economic history and geography of Canada ever produced.
Fur and Freedom
This book was originally published on the IEA's web site on the day before the Government bill that sought to outlaw fur farming in Britain received its second reading in the House of Commons. The bill was predicated on the assumption that fur farming is wrong (it is considered a matter of 'public morality'). However, according to Richard North, that assumption is flawed. In this latest environment publication, Mr North debunks some of the oft-repeated misconceptions about fur farming.
Trading Beyond the Mountains
During the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the North West and Hudson�s Bay companies extended their operations beyond the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. There they encountered a mild and forgiving climate and abundant natural resources and, with the aid of Native traders, branched out into farming, fishing, logging, and mining. Following its merger with the North West Company in 1821, the Hudson�s Bay Company set up its headquarters at Fort Vancouver on the lower Columbia River. From there, the company dominated much of the non-Native economy, sending out goods to markets in Hawaii, Sitka, and San Francisco. Trading Beyond the Mountains looks at the years of exploration between 1793 and 1843 leading to the commercial development of the Pacific coast and the Cordilleran interior of western North America. Mackie examines the first stages of economic diversification in this fur trade region and its transformation into a dynamic and distinctive regional economy. He also documents the Hudson�s Bay Company�s employment of Native slaves and labourers in the North West coast region.
