    TABLE OF CONTENTS acknowledgements vii introduction Fidler in Context 1 first journal From York Factory to Buckingham House 43 second journal From Buckingham House to the Rocky Mountains 95 notes to the first journal 151 notes to the second journal 241 sources and references 321 index 351 COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION FIDLER IN CONTEXT In July 1792 Peter Fidler, a young surveyor for the Hudson’s Bay Company, set out from York Factory to the company’s new outpost high on the North Saskatchewan River. 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Sean Nixon, with Woodward & Company LLP, then provided me with terms of reference to follow in writing an expert report (e-mail letter 21 Dec. 2010): 1.
