Opis

This is the story of Irish-born Henry Ross Halpin, who by the age of 16 began a long association with the fur trade and Canada s native peoples, was thrice employed by the Hudson s Bay Company, and became an Indian agent (18851901). Halpin s work took him from Fort Garry, Manitoba, to Fort York on the shores of the Hudson Bay, and across the Prairies to British Columbia. This book is based on Halpin s previously unpublished menoirs, Hudson s Bay Company post journals and correspondence, the 1885 Rebellion trials where Halpin was a witness, and the reports and correspondence of the Department of Indian Affairs.
