The Canadian fur trade has a rich and interesting history. First and foremost, the fur trade developed communities built entirely upon economic relationships - both with the homeland and with the native people in Canada. In the early sixteenth century, French and English explorers who landed on Canadian shores were more concerned with finding the North West passage than establishing a complex system of economics based on bartering for resources.

Will, Michael H. B.A. (Hons.) A Technical Overview of Hudson's Bay Company Fur Trade Architecture in British Columbia The focus of this paper is provide a technical overview of fur trade post architecture in British Columbia. This task first required an examination and clarification of the contributing factors which influenced the development of Hudson's Bay Company (H.B.C.) architecture in other areas of western Canada. From this initial avenue of investigation, I was able to distinguish four major periods in the development of H.B.C. architecture in western Canada from approximately 1670 to 1930. These four periods in western Canada were then compared with the fur trade post architecture which existed in British Columbia. Three periods of H.B.C. fur trade post architecture were determined for British Columbia and these three periods appear to coincide with the latter three period of architectural development determined for western Canada. The first period of H.B.C. architecture in British Columbia was from approximately 1820 to 1860, with post-on-sill architecture being the most prevalent form. The second period encompasses the years 1860 to approximately 1930 and was influenced by the influx of settlers and the establishment of saw mills producing more economical and less labour intensive building materials. The third period occurs after 1930, when attempts were made by the H.B.C. to standardize the forms and materials used to construct structures at their fur trade posts.

In return for settling and developing the colony, the charter granted the Hudson's Bay Company a monopoly on the region's natural resources. Its first governor was Charles Bayley, a Quaker , who was released from the Tower of London and deported to Canada. Over the next nine years Bayley established trading posts at the mouths of rivers. He also arranged trade with the local Cree tribe.

32. Trailblazers - Scots In Canada in 1821 and the Hudson s bay company name was retained. Do you have what it takes to work in the fur trade? Trappers and traders travelled Canadian rivers and http://www.nms.ac.uk/trailblazers/trappers.htm

Beaver fur was in great demand as it was used to make 'felt' or 'beaver' hats for the European market. By the late 1500s the beaver was extinct in Western Europe and was close to extinction in Scandinavia and Russia. North American beaver fur kept the fashion going for another 200 years. Who controlled the fur trade? The Hudson's Bay Company controlled the ports around Hudson's Bay. The workforce mostly came from the Orkney Islands. The North West Company was formed by a group of independent traders and recruited mostly Scottish Highlanders. The two companies merged in 1821 and the Hudson's Bay Company name was retained. Do you have what it takes to work in the fur trade? Trappers and traders travelled Canadian rivers and lakes by boat or canoe. The crewmen had to be: short - anyone over 1.65m (5' 5") would simply not fit in the canoe!

Jasper and Mt. Robson - History Fur Trade and Exploration © All oil paintings by Milton Achtimichuk By Jeff Waugh Due to the inability of the Northwest Company and the Hudson's Bay Company to withstand intense competition they amalgamated under the name of the Hudson's Bay Company. George Simpson took over from Colin Robertson as man-in-charge of the area. Since the time Tete Jaune had guided for the Hudson's Bay Company, he had been hunting and trapping in the area between the Smoky River Post, Jasper and Fort George and had established a fur cache on the Grand Fork of the Fraser (somewhere in the vicinity of the present day viewpoint). By 1822 Simpson had been appointed Governor of the Northern Department. As he had reports that the area "between the headwaters of the Smoky and those of Canoe and Fraser's Rivers... abounds with beaver" he suggested the building of a Hudson's Bay Company outpost at Tete Jaune's cache. J. La Roque, with a reputation of being a good quality trader, was dispatched by Simpson to establish this outpost on the Grand Fork of the Fraser. However, after considering organizational and transportation problems, Simpson decided against his own idea and set out with his expert Iroquois canoe men to overtake La Roque. Simpson decided to discontinue fur trading i the Jasper area and transferred La Roque to eastern Canada. Later, however, Simpson was to change his mind once more, and in 1825 he sent James MacMillan guided by Tete Jaune to survey the Yellowhead Pass area. One year later he ordered the "requisition of 500 Dressed Moose and Deer Hides be provided and forwarded by the Saskatchewan District to Tete Jaune Cache on or before the close of September proxo". This was the first written message of Tete Jaune Cache.

Special History: The Environment and the Fur Trade Experience in Voyageurs National Park, 1730-1870 Introduction (continued) A Note on Sources Core collections of published and unpublished primary source material are located at Voyageurs National Park and the NPS Midwest Archeological Center in Lincoln, Nebraska. The library at Voyageurs National Park contains an excellent rare book collection with many volumes dating from the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The more fragile volumes are held in the museum. At the Midwest Archeological Center, Archeologist Tom Thiessen has compiled more than fifteen feet of vertical files containing articles, chapters, and notes relating to the fur trade experience in the Rainy Lake Region. Particularly noteworthy are Thiessen's transcriptions of various manuscripts from the Manitoba Provincial Archives, the Hudson's Bay Company Archives, and the National Archives of Canada. Without the benefit of this extensive previous research, this study would not have been possible. Additional research was conducted at the National Archives of Canada, the Provincial Archives of Ontario, the Minnesota Historical Center, and libraries at the University of Washington, the University of Montana, and the University of Nebraska. With one exception, the richest sources for this study were in published form, often in obscure publications, and the biggest research challenge was to locate as many of these items as possible. The single exception was the Hudson's Bay Company post journals for Lac La Pluie (Rainy Lake) fort. The journals provide the most detailed record of fur trader activities in the region to be found anywhere.

The Fur Trade: "Beaver Powered Mountaineering" In Virgin Land , Henry Nash Smith explores the legendary image of the mountain men that led easterns to believe that they were lone wanderers prowling the western desert seeking adventure and intrique. Although this was the popular conception, it was simply not the case. These men were very rough, adverturous businessmen, and they needed an economic framework, however loose and transient, to support their occupation. The furtrade and the companies that resulted from it provided the fiscal support and stability that the mountain men needed to crisscross the continent in search of adventure and profit. There were essentially two realms of trade: The Rocky Mountain Fur Trade and the Upper Missouri. The two regions had different circumstances and hence very different methods of operating business. The Upper Missouri trade relied on the Indian tribes to bring their buffalo skins to trading posts. There, the robes were bought and sent to St. Louis via the river. The Rocky Mountain Trapping system was quite different. In the Rockies, beaver was the fur of choice. It was trapped mainly by the Euro-American mountain men traveling in company groups. The pelts were sold at a
