Hudson's Bay, or, Every-day Life in the Wilds of North America : During Six Years' Residence in the Territories of the Honourable Hudson's Bay Company

Omtale

Between 1841 and 1846, Robert M. Ballantyne (1825–94) traversed the inhospitable terrain of Hudson's Bay, Canada, bartering for furs. In 1848, aged just twenty-three, he published an account of his experiences. Applauded by contemporaries for describing 'a novel and singular existence', Ballantyne's narrative challenges many misconceptions about nineteenth-century Canada.
