Summary:
"New manuscripts directly related to Canada's
history
rarely come to light. The
Labrador
Companion, written in 1810 by Captain George Cartwright (1739-1819), and discovered in 2013, is a fascinating and unusual find because of its level of detail, its setting in a hardly studied part of Britain's fur-trade empire, and because it is a personal account rather than a trade outfit ledger or government document."--From publisher.
"This annotated edition transcribes The
Labrador
Companion in full. Cartwright documented the everyday work of
Labrador
's particular kind of fur-trade life based on his experiences operating a series of merchant stations in southern
Labrador
between 1770 and 1786. Although his focus is firmly on instruction in the manifold ways of capturing animals, he also provides rare glimpses of Innu and
Inuit
life as well as of housekeeping and gardening. The
Labrador
Companion includes a lengthy description of
Labrador
's fauna--of land, sea, and air--that accounts among Canada's earliest natural
history
writing based on first-hand observation. A revealing account of fur-trade-era technology, methods, and materials, conveyed through one man's acquired knowledge and skills, The
Labrador
Companion gives a close-to-the-ground picture of the resource industries that were at the heart of British, and French, colonial presence in the Canadian northeast."--From publisher.
