Anyone have any suggestions on books or such on the history of hbc and history of trapping in North America? MOLON LABE

He was basically the first to run Hudson Bay brigades up into the Snake country and there are plenty of insights into the grand old company from the perspective of somebody who was there. Not often that we get the story first hand from somewhat who wrote about it while it was still fresh in his mind. He covers the very early years of HBC's Columbia district. My fear of moving stairs is escalating!
