MITCHELL, ELAINE ALLAN - Fort Timiskaming and the Fur Trade

Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1977. First Edition. Hardcover. ISBN: 0802022340. "Traces this history of Fort Timiskaming and its subsidiary posts from the first French establishments in the 1670s and 80s until 1870, when the Hudson's Bay territories became part of the new Dominion of Canada. Describes the exploitation of the posts by freetraders from Montreal after 1763, their purchase by the North West Company in 1795, the struggle between rival Canadian and English traders before 1821 and the events following the amalgamation in 1821 of the North West and Hudson's Bay companies. Also discusses the effect on the district's fortunes of petty traders, lumbermen, missionaries, and settlers, and offers a general picture of the country and of life at the posts. Will appeal not only to historians, but to all Canadians interested in Canada's early history." - [i]. p xii, [12], 306. Footnotes, bibliography and index.
