Excerpt from Pierre and His People: Tales of the Far North
The Red River Valley, the Sackatchewan Valley, and British Columbia, are now belted by a great railway, and given to the plough; but in the far north, life is much the same as it was a hundred years ago. There the trapper, clerk, trader, and factor, are cast in the mould of another century, though possessing the acuter energies of this. The voyageur and courier de bois still exist, though, generally, under less picturesque names.
The Red River Valley, the Sackatchewan Valley, and British Columbia, are now belted by a great railway, and given to the plough; but in the far north, life is much the same as it was a hundred years ago. There the trapper, clerk, trader, and factor, are cast in the mould of another century, though possessing the acuter energies of this. The voyageur and courier de bois still exist, though, generally, under less picturesque names.
The bare story of the hardy and wonderful career of the adventurers trading in Hudson's Bay, - of whom Prince Rupert was once chiefest, - and the life of the prairies, may be found in histories and books of travel; but their romances, the near narratives of individual lives, have waited the telling.
