Publisher's Synopsis
"Journal du Yukon, 1847-1848" offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and times of Alexander Hunter Murray, a Hudson's Bay Company trader stationed in the Yukon during the mid-19th century. This historical journal provides a firsthand account of the fur trade, the challenges of survival in a remote and unforgiving landscape, and Murray's interactions with the indigenous peoples of the region. The journal details daily life at Fort Yukon, including trading activities, explorations of the surrounding territory, and observations on the customs and traditions of the local tribes. Murray's writings offer valuable insights into the early history of the Yukon and the complex relationships between European traders and indigenous communities. This book is an invaluable resource for historians, anthropologists, and anyone interested in the history of Canada, the fur trade, and the exploration of the North.
