The Red River Colony is a Canadian history classic by Louis Aubrey Wood. The right to the fur trade in America had been granted--given away, as the English of the time thought--by the hand of Charles II of England. In prodigal fashion Charles conceded, in 1670, a charter, which conveyed extensive lands, with the privileges of monopoly, to the 'Company of Adventurers of England trading into Hudson's Bay.' But if the courtiers of the Merry Monarch had any notion that he could thus exclude all others from the field, their dream was an empty one.

The War Chief of the Six Nations A Chronicle of Joseph Brant is volume 16 of the Chronicles of Canada Series. Thayendanegea (Joseph Brant) (1743 - 1807) was a Mohawk military and political leader who was associated with Great Britain during and after the American Revolution. Brant was not born to a leadership role in the Iroquois League but gained his importance through his connections to British officials. During the Revolutionary War he led Mohawk and colonial Loyalists against the Americans. After the war, he moved to Canada, where he remained a prominent leader.
