Title: Canadian wilds
Description: Martin Hunter went to work for the Hudson Bay Company as a factor in isolated outposts when it was the largest sovereign nation on earth, and when he retired it was already becoming a department store chain. His articles show how people lived and survived in the great northern wilderness of Canada, down to lists of provisions with prices, tools and techniques. A rare and detailed view into our pioneering past.
