He spent the winter of 1792‐93 with a group of Piikani hunting buffalo in the foothills SW of Calgary. These were remarkable journeys. The river brigade travelled more than 2000 km in 80 days, hauling heavy loads, moving upstream almost all the way. With the Piikani, Fidler witnessed hunts at sites that archaeologists have since studied intensively. On both trips his assignment was to map the fur-trade route from Hudson Bay to the Rocky Mountains. Fidler kept two journals, one for the river trip and one for his circuit with the Piikani. The freshness and immediacy of these journals are a great part of their appeal. They are filled with descriptions of regional landscapes, hunting and trading, Native and fur-trade cultures, all of them reflecting a young man’s sense of adventure as he crossed the continent. But there is noth- ing naive or spontaneous about these remarks. The journals are transcripts of his route survey, the first stages of a map to be sent to the company’s head office in London.

  • Pre-Contract Overland Routes Into the American West: 1832 to 1851
    Pre-Contract Overland Routes into the American West: 1832 to 1851 This exhibit describes the early overland postal routes that connected the expanding American West with the rest of the world. The 1803 Louisiana Purchase and the 1845-48 territorial acquisitions tripled the size of the United States, and moved its western frontier from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean. Letter communications played a crucial role in enabling the consolidation of these new territories, but the Post Office Department waited until 1847 to establish the first western post office; until 1848 to establish the first contract transcontinental route via Panama; and until 1850 to establish the first contract overland route into the new territories. Prior to the establishment of contract mail routes, private parties carried small amounts of mail on overland routes. This exhibit examines that pre-contract mail, starting with the earliest known letter from the Rocky Mountains in 1832. Major Overland Postal Routes Oregon mail routes were the first opened into the Rockies. Americans mainly used the Oregon Trail northwest of Salt Lake City, while the Hudson’s Bay Company used a route through southern Canada to Montreal. Utah mail routes connected Salt Lake City, Utah with Missouri and California, and followed the Central Emigration Trail via South Pass. Santa Fe mail routes used the Santa Fe Trail to transport mail between New Mexico and Missouri, and connected with the southern route to California. California mail routes used the Central Emigration Trail and the Spanish Trail via Los Angeles and Santa Fe. Datelined July 14, 1832 at the Pierre’s Hole (Idaho) fur trade rendezvous - “Fav.

  • Northern Shoshoni Intertribal Trade and Fur Trade
    IDAHO STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY REFERENCE SERIES NORTHERN SHOSHONI INTERTRIBAL TRADE AND FUR TRADE Number 490 1978 In the broad valley of the Snake, two centers of Northern Shoshoni occupation held special importance over a long period of time. Late in the years of the fur trade, each of these had a post of importance: Fort Hall and Fort Boise. Around later Fort Hall, in the vicinity where Blackfoot, Ross Fork, the Portneuf, and Bannock Creek meet the Snake River, horse-owning Indians had an exceptionally good base of operations if they didn't mind the hordes of mosquitoes too much. Here the Fort Hall Shoshoni and Bannock bands maintained their horse herds in luxury. Farther west, in a zone where the Boise, Owyhee, Malheur, Payette, and Weiser rivers all flow into the Snake, the Northern Shoshoni had an important trading center during salmon season long before the Hudson's Bay Company built Fort Boise. Here the Northern Shoshoni met other Indian peoples from a broad western area for a great intertribal fair during salmon fishing season. Nez Perce and Walla Walla horses, Northern Paiute obsidian arrowheads, Pacific Coast ornamental seashells (brought in by Umatilla and Cayuse intermediaries), and Shoshoni buffalo hides and meat from the eastern plains were bartered there year after year. In addition, Cheyenne and Arapaho bands dragged superior cedar tipi poles from Colorado by the hundreds, and Crows came from Wyoming in search of wives. So did many others: the entire festival formed a grand marriage market as well as a horse market and general trade fair.

  • The Conquest of the Great Northwest Piled Criss-Cross Below Higher Than
    The Conquest of the Great Northwest festooned by a mist-like moss that hung from tree to tree in loops, with the windfall of untold centuries piled criss-cross below higher than a house. The men grumbled.They had not bargained on this kind of voyaging. Once down on the west side of the Great Divide, there were the Forks.MacKenzie's instincts told him the northbranch looked the better way, but the old guide had said only the south branch would lead to the Great River beyond the mountains, and they turned up Parsnip River through a marsh of beaver meadows, which MacKenzie noted for future trade. It was now the 3rd of June.MacKenzie ascended a. mountain to look along the forward path. When he came down with McKay and the Indian Cancre, no canoe was to be found.MacKenzie sent broken branches drifting down stream as a signal and fired gunshot after gunshot, but no answer!Had the men deserted with boat and provisions?Genuinely alarmed, MacKenzie ordered McKay and Cancre back down the Parsnip, while he went on up stream. Whichever found the canoe was to fire a gun.For a day without food and in drenching rains, the three tore through the underbrush shouting, seeking, despairing till strength vas ethausted and moccasins worn to tattersBarefoot and soaked, MacKenzie was just lying down for the night when a crashing 64 "The Coming of the Pedlars" echo told him McKay had found the deserters. They had waited till he had disappeared up the mountain, then headed the canoe north and drifted down stream.

  • Fort Langley History (English)
    Brief History of Fort Langley The original Fort Langley was established in 1827 by the Hudson's Bay Company. It served as part of a network of fur trade forts operating in the New Caledonia and Columbia Districts (now British Columbia and northern Washington). The fort maintained a good and peaceful trade in furs, salmon, and even cranberries with the local native inhabitants. Because of its strategic position on the Fraser River, the post developed into a regional depot and forwarding centre. European trade goods and supplies destined for the interior were received from the arriving steamers, re-packaged and sent inland from this fort and the District's outgoing fur, fish, and cranberry exports were prepared for overseas shipment. Langley also blazed the first useable all- Canadian route from the coast to the interior and with its sister posts helped preserve British interests west of the Rockies. British Interests on the Pacific Slope The first British interest was sparked by the rich supply of sea otter pelts brought back by mariners working the Pacific coast about 1793 and the abundance of fur collected by the North West Company in its exploration of the inland trade of the Pacific Slope from 1811. The Coast Salish had some control over the maritime fur trade, as it was a reciprocal relationship. Both the natives and the fur traders agreed upon price and goods traded. Each group’s satisfaction ensured the continuation of the trading relationship. After the union of the North West and Hudson's Bay companies in 1821, a Royal Licence was issued to the reconstituted Hudson's Bay Company, giving it a monopoly on trade west of the Rockies.

  • The Ottawa: Traders of the Upper Great Lakes
    THE OTTAWA: TRADERS OF THE UPPER GREAT LAKES THE OTTAWA: TRADERS OF THE UPPER GREAT LAKES 1615-1700 By LEO GILBERT WAISBERG, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University September 1977 MASTER OF ARTS (1978) McMaster University (Anthropology) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: The Ottawa, Traders of the Upper Great Lakes AUTHOR: Leo Gilbert Waisberg, B.A. (York University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Richard J. Preston NUMBER OF PAGES: xxii + 203 ii ABSTRACT The fur trade of the Upper Great Lakes region during the 17th century is examined with the aid of ethnohistorical documents and source materials. Analysis is focused upon the role of the Ottawa, an important collection of native American middlemen, on the French- oriented fur trade. The Ottawa, a loose political federation of Algonkian-speaking peoples, exhibited a rather variable economic adaptation during this era; while territorial or ecological factors are considered in this study, it was concluded that social organizational 1 forms and economic relations were modified, significantly, and continually throughout the 17th century 7 by changing Ottawa perceptions of trade strategies. These perceptions revolved around traditional cultural norms and conventions as well as strictly market considerations such as supply/ demand fluctuations. The trade itself, a melange of European and native customs and orthodoxies, was manipu- lated in various ways to ensure high levels of consumption. In effect, the trade financed an intensification of traditional reciprocity, egalitarianism and factional politics; international relations were also affected, as iii the influx of wealth was used to extend the influence of Ottawa chiefs among other nations, or to engage in the subtleties of baroque power politics with the English and French.

  • Carolyn Patricia Mcaleer for the Degree of Master of Arts in Applied Anthropology Presented on November 14, 2003
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Carolyn Patricia McAleer for the degree of Master of Arts in Applied Anthropology presented on November 14, 2003. Title: Patterns from the Past: Exploring Gender and Ethnicity through Historical Archaeology among Fur Trade Families in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. Abstract Approved: Redacted for privacy David R. Brauner This thesis examines archaeological material in order to explore gender and ethnicity issues concerning fur tradeera families from a settlement in the Willamette Valley, Oregon. Ethnohistorical information consisting of traders journals and travelers observations, as well as documentation from the Hudson's Bay Company, Catholic church records, and genealogical information helped support and guide this research. By using historical information as wellas archaeological material, this research attempted to interpret possible ethnic markers and gender relationships between husbands and wives among five fur tradeera families. Families of mixed ethnicity, including French Canadian, Native, Metis and American, settled the valley after 1828 bringing with them objects and activities characteristic of their way of life. Retired fur tradetrappers, of French Canadian and American decent, married either Metisor Native women. Of 53 identified families, four French Canadian/Native families have been chosen for this project,as well as one American settler, and his Native wife. Little is known about how these women interacted within their families or whether they maintained certain characteristics of their Native culture. It was hoped that these unique cultural dynamics might become evident through an analysis of the ceramic assemblages from these sites. Due to the extensive nature of the archaeological collections, and time constraints related to this thesis, only ceramics have been examined.

This was still a largely unknown territory. The first accounts of the west came from fur traders. In this window, you will read some of the entries in the journals of Daniel Williams Harmon, who was chief trader at the North West Company fur post at Fort St. fames in northcentral British Columbia (New Caledonia) between 1810 and 1816. Prior to this, Harmon had spent some time on the prairies, where he had married a Mitts woman named Elizabeth Duval. The couple had twelve children. Harmon's book, Sixteen Years in the Indian Country, describes life in New Caledonia. We can learn something about the lives of the Carrier and Sekani peoples, as well as about the lives of the fur traders.
