Notes


Grace Lee Nute's study reconstructs the lives and travels of the seventeenth-century fur traders Médard Chouart, Sieur des Groseilliers, and Pierre-Esprit Radisson, tracing their roles in the North American fur trade and the events leading to the establishment of the Hudson's Bay Company. Drawing upon records from the Hudson's Bay Company Archives, church and court records, notarial contracts, and archival sources in Quebec and France, Nute examines their expeditions, commercial activities, and relationships with French and English colonial authorities.
