Northern Trader: The Last Days of the Fur Trade
With previously unpublished photographs, this new edition of Northern Trader is a vivid personal memoir and valuable primary account of the last days of the fur trade. Harold Kemp recounts the routines and rhythms of that long-lost way of life and paints a portrait of the north as a "vast region of infinite allure."
In palpable, often gripping prose, Kemp depicts life on the trail in all seasons:...H.S.M. (Harold) Kemp was born in the U.K. in 1892 and came to the North-West Territories as a boy. At age sixteen he began working for the Hudson's Bay Company. Three years later he joined the Revillon Freres, then the HBC's great rival. His Northern Trader is the only full-scale recollection of the fur trade we have by a "French Company" man.
