Canada - Classic Reprint Author:Beckles Willson PREFACE In the following pages is told the history of my native land, as a sagamore of the olden time might tell the legends of the past to the young braves of his tribe gathered round the lodge fire. Though primarily intended for youth, yet there is scarce any one of intelligence and spirit who may not find some entertainment in hearing of the ... more »doings of the valiant heroes, the bloodthirsty villains, the virtuous ladies who played their part in the Canadian drama, and then passed for ever away. Elsewhere I have given the story of Hudson's Bay,1 and what is recounted here of fur-traders and fur-trading forts owes much, as the reader will expect, to my former book. 1 Th* Great Fur Company, 1899.
