  • Some Red River Fur-Trade Activities / by John Perry Pritchett
    SOME RED RIVER FUR-TRADE ACTIVITIES1 With the defeat of France in North America in 1763, the French fur-trading posts in the Red River and Saskatchewan valleys became idle. The continual stream of furs flowing through the trading houses of Montreal and Quebec ceased. About the year 1766 numerous Canadian traders, — Scotch, French, and half-breed, — motivated by the spirit of industry and adventure, made their way into the West following the old French trails. In less than a decade they had pushed their enterprises far beyond the French limits. Until 1784 the bulk of the inland fur traffic was in the hands of these independent traders. Unfortunately, the French license system of trading was put aside as incongruous with the principles of free trade. There were no legal restraints. The consequence was a cut­ throat system of competition, with all kinds of disorder and crime. Fraud, chicanery, and every concomitant evil were practiced to get the Indian barter. Spirituous liquors were freely and indiscriminately used. In spite of this state of affairs the unrestricted trade acquired great proportions and seriously encroached upon the profits of the Hudson's Bay Company. This company, by virtue of a charter granted by Charles II in 1670, claimed the " sole trade and commerce " over the territory bordering on Hudson Bay and Strait and all the country watered by the streams flowing into the bay. The Canadian adventurers had so advantageously located themselves in the " upland " country and on the sources of the rivers which led to the settlements of the Hudson's Bay Company that the company's trade " was in a great measure cut off from its usual channel.

  • Fort Life Hivernants: the Wintering Voyageurs
    Fort Life Hivernants: The Wintering Voyageurs 45 Who were the Hivernants? Hivernants were experienced voyageurs who would spend their winters at a fort in the Interior. These men were a tough breed, and considered themselves above the Montreal- based, seasonal voyageurs. The hivernants were a well organized, prideful bunch of men, who lived comfortably in the harshest of environments. The hivernants often distinguished themselves from a common voyageur at summer rendezvous gatherings by camping on different sides of the fort than the common engages. Hivernants were usually the men who constructed the forts they would live in. While still under the direct observation of the company clerks and investors, hivernants were granted a certain amount of freedom during the winter. Hivernants carved out an amazing existence in a harsh environment The average time spent in the Interior for a hivernant was 3-5 years, so they were very used to the unique lifestyle they had to develop by the time they were done with their obligation to the company. Many hivernants had families in the Interior. Cree and Ojibwe women became wives, and children soon followed. Even after the fur trade was over, many wintering voyageurs stayed in the interior to homestead. They started farms and carved out a magnificent existence in the face of danger and adversity. Many cities, like Winnipeg, Green Bay, and even Chicago owe their establishment to the voyageurs who never returned east. Forts became towns, and towns became cities. When, where, and why were the forts established? By now you should have a clearer understanding of who the voyageurs were and the important role they played in establishing trade routes throughout North America.

  • Labour Relations Among Bourgeois, Clerks and Voyageurs in the Montréal Fur Trade, 1780-1821
    Unfair Masters and Rascally Servants? Labour Relations Among Bourgeois, Clerks and Voyageurs in the Montréal Fur Trade, 1780-1821 Carolyn Pod men ny THE HISTORY OF WORKING PEOPLES in the fur trade has recently become a subject of concentrated interest.1 The publication of Edith Burley's Servants of the Hon­ ourable Country, which explores the master and servant relationship between Orkney workers and Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) officers stands as an important development in focussing attention squarely on the workers themselves, and demonstrates the extent of their power through insubordination and resistance. A Some broader studies of labour and capital in early Canadian history briefly mention fur trade workers, Such as H. Clare Pentland, Labour and Capital in Canada, 1650-1860 (Toronto: James Lorimer & Co. 1981), 30-3; and Bryan D. Palmer, Working-Class Experi­ ence: Rethinking the History of Canadian Labour, 1800-1991 (Toronto: McClelland & Stewart 1992), 35-6. European labourers first received significant examination by Jennifer S.H. Brown, Strangers in Blood: Fur Trade Families in Indian Country (Vancouver: University of British Columbia Press 1980). Native labourers have been subject to some examination by Carol M. Judd, "Native Labour and Social Stratification in the Hudson's Bay Company's Northern Department, 1770-1870," Canadian Review of Sociology and Anthropology, 17, 4 (November 1980) 305-14. Edith I. Burley, Servants of the Honourable Company: Work, Discipline, and Conflict in the Hudson's Bay Company, 1770-1879 (Toronto, New York and Oxford: Oxford Univer­ sity Press 1997); Philip Goldring first began to compile information on labourers in Papers on the Labour System of the Hudson's Bay Company, 1821-1900, Volume I, Manuscript Report Series, no.
