The Journal of Alexander Henry the Younger, 1799-1814: Volume 1: Red River and the Journey to the Missouri

0/5 ( ratings)

This work redresses the omissions and inaccuracies of previously published versions of Henry’s journal, which totals 1,642 pages in the original manuscript in the National Archives of Canada. “Henry the Younger” was a nephew of trader Alexander Henry, with whom he was a shareholder in the North West Company in the 1790s. His journal is one of the best early nineteenth-century records of the fur trade as practiced in the enormous territory between Lake Superior and the mouth of the Columbia River, and is also valued for its native ethnography. Volume I covers 1799-1808.
