Notes


A primary record of Hudson’s Bay Company operations at Moose Fort (Moose Factory, on James Bay), this volume presents the day-to-day journals kept between 1783 and 1785. The entries portray the post as the Company’s regional headquarters, directing several subordinate stations and managing the cycle of inland and coastal trade.
