  • The Beaver Club (1785-1827): Behind Closed Doors Bella Silverman
    The Beaver Club (1785-1827): Behind Closed Doors Bella Silverman Montreal’s infamous Beaver Club (1785-1827) was a social group that brought together retired merchants and acted as a platform where young fur traders could enter Montreal’s bourgeois society.1 The rules and social values governing the club reveal the violent, racist, and misogynistic underpinnings of the group; its membership was exclusively white and male, and the club admitted members who participated in morally grotesque and violent activities, such as murder and slavery. Further, the club’s mandate encouraged the systematic “othering” of those believed to be “savage” and unlike themselves.2 Indeed, the Beaver Club’s exploitive, exclusive, and violent character was cultivated in private gatherings held at its Beaver Hall Hill mansion.3 (fig. 1) Subjected to specific rules and regulations, the club allowed members to collude economically, often through their participation in the institution of slavery, and idealize the strength of white men who wintered in the North American interior or “Indian Country.”4 Up until 1821, Montreal was a mercantile city which relied upon the fur trade and international import-exports as its economic engine.5 Following the British Conquest of New France in 1759, the fur trading merchants’ influence was especially strong.6 Increasing affluence and opportunities for leisure led to the establishment of social organizations, the Beaver Club being one among many.7 The Beaver Club was founded in 1785 by the same group of men who founded the North West Company (NWC), a fur trading organization established in 1775. 9 Some of the company’s founding partners were James McGill, the Frobisher brothers, and later, Alexander Henry.10 These men were also some of the Beaver Club’s original members.11 (figs.

  • A Thesi S Submitted Ta the Facul Ty of Graduate Studies and Research in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts
    FARM LEASES AND AGRICULTURE ON THE ISLAND OF MONTREAL, 1780-1820 A thesi s submitted ta the Facul ty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts by ( JENNIFER L. WAYWELL OEPARTMENT OF HISTORY MCGILL UNIVERSITY, MONTREAL SEPTEMBER 1989 o Jenni fer L. Waywell 1989 r ( ABSTRACT Based primarily on notari zed farm l eases, th i s thes i s exami nes approaches to agriculture on the island of Montreal from 1780 to 1820. Thi s source permits us to establ ish the crucial rel ationship between people and farms and to then link them to differences in capital invest­ ment, production and farming techniques. By understanding the common, day-to-day farming operations, we can address ourselves to the larger questions of what contributed to the state of Lower Canadian agricul­ ture, a subject of contentious debate in Quebec historiography. The island of Montreal, already favoured by the geographic cir­ cumstances of c1imate, soi1 and location, was also a crucible for two profound changes which were occurring in Quebec society during this period -- the beginning of a wave of Eng1 ish-speaking immigrants who wou1d permanently alter the ethnie composition of the province's population, and the deve10pment of a significant urban market. In the 564 notarized farm leases passed in this forty-year period, half of the lessors were merchants and professionals, most of whom I~sided in the city and suburbs of Montreal. The farms of the urban bourgeoisie were on average larger and better-stocked than the farms of habitants, art i­ sans and other proprietors.

  • 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.
