About This Item
The History Committee, St. Andrews and Caledonian Society. Seemingly a well-researched book on the emergence of 3 Scots in what became British Columbia, 3 Northwest fur company explorers: Alexander Mackenzie, Simon Fraser and map-maker David Thompson. Then in 1811, two traders from the tiny Pacific Fur Company came north from Fort Okanagan and stopped in Kamloops; Scots Alexander Ross and David Stuart. In 1812, Alexander Ross returned to Kamloops and built a small trading post for the Pacific Fur company. Soon the Hudson's Bay company moved in and the rest is history.
On the title-page: "Compliments of the Kamloops and St. Andrews Society", plus the signature of an early owner of the book; o/w a VG+ copy.
