Review Of Keepers Of The Record: The History Of The Hudson's Bay Company Archives. By Deidre Simmons, Scott Stephen
Review Of Keepers Of The Record: The History Of The Hudson's Bay Company Archives. By Deidre Simmons, Scott Stephen
Great Plains Quarterly
Given the remarkable character of the Hudson's Bay Company Archives, it is a little hard to believe that this is the first comprehensive study of their history. It was worth the wait, though, as Simmons deftly weaves more than three centuries of people and paper into a narrative as captivating as the records themselves. As Simmons observes in her introduction, this book is much more than just the history of the HBCA as an institution: it is both a history of the HBC's record-keeping (and record-keepers) from its earliest days and a case study in British and Canadian archival history. …

"Rejoicing In The Beauties Of Nature" The Image Of The Western Landscape During The Fur Trade, Kerry R. Oman
Great Plains Quarterly
While traveling along the Platte River on May 18, 1834, William Marshall Anderson stopped to pick up a human skull bleaching in the prairie sunlight. Anderson was from Louisville, Kentucky, and had been sent west by his physician to accompany a fur-trade caravan to the Rocky Mountains in hopes of regaining lost physical strength. He came west not as a typical trader or trapper, but as an attentive observer. What Anderson lacked in physical strength and fortitude, he made up for with a commanding vernacular and lively imagination. Later in the day, after carrying the skull for several miles, he …
