No. XIX in The Publications of the Hudson's Bay Record Society series. Edited by E. E. Rich who was assisted by A. M. Johnson. This volume contains a transcription of Eden Colvile's letters sent from Canada to Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) officials in London. Eden Colvile (1819-1893) was an English businessman and governor of HBC. He was the son of Andrew Colvile who had worked as Deputy Governor of HBC. Eden took over the duties of another HBC governor, George Simpson. As HBC governor, Eden was tasked with handling a variety of conflicts including racial and cultural tensions between the different residents of Red River Colony in Rupert's Land, the Guilleume Sayer trial, and Foss-Pelly trial. Following the main collection of Eden's correspondence to London is a collection of his letters addressed to Simpson. In both collections of his letters, Eden writes about a variety of subjects such as HBC administrative matters, noted HBC officials, and residents and politics of Red River Colony. In his Introduction, Morton writes about the general sociopolitical and racial dynamics in Red River Colony, the agricultural prospects and difficulties in the Colony, and notable individuals associated with Red River Colony. Morton discusses ethnic groups in the region such as the Metis, French Canadians, and Kildonan Scots. He addresses the importance of religion among various groups and tensions between Protestants and Roman Catholics. Morton paints a detailed picture of daily life in Red River Colony such as observed social customs, animals that could be raised there, and crops that could withstand the brutal winters of the region. Front colophon: "This copy is No. 658 of a limited Edition which is issued only to subscribers to the Hudson's Bay Record Society.".

Añadir al carritoHardcover. Condición: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. cxv+300+[xiv members list] pages with frontispiece from drawing by Henry J Warre, appendix, bibliography and index. Royal octavo (9 3/4" x 6 3/4") bound in original publisher's blue cloth with gilt lettering and pictorial insignia to spine. Assisted by A M Johnson, introdu…ction by W L Morton. Hudson Bay Record Society Volume XIX (19). First edition. Eden Colvile's personal connection with the Hudson's Bay Company began in 1848, when, having left his post with the NACAI, he accompanied Sir George Simpson, governor of the HBC, as far as the Red River settlement and Norway House. After the inspection tour he returned to Britain, but not for long. His father, deputy governor of the HBC, was the most powerful member of its London committee, which was not pleased with recent events in the northwest. The trial of Pierre-Guillaume Sayer at the Red River settlement in 1849 marked the end of the company's monopoly of the fur trade. Aggressive free traders had an alternative outlet for their furs at the post of Norman Wolfred Kittson in Pembina (N. Dak.). The community at Red River, moreover, was disrupting the company's affairs. In small, isolated societies events otherwise considered trivial can generate much animosity. A festering quarrel, which concerned the reputation of Sarah McLeod*, wife of Chief Factor John Ballenden*, had erupted into a lawsuit for conspiracy to slander, brought by Captain Christopher Vaughan Foss, the alleged lover of Mrs Ballenden, against HBC clerk Augustus Edward Pelly, his wife, and others who were accused of defaming Sarah. In addition, demands by Presbyterians for a clergyman and church of their own, as well as compensation for their contributions to the Anglican parish over the years, had created a deep rift between the two religious groups [see Alexander Ross*]. The settlers were also increasingly dissatisfied with the administration of William Bletterman Caldwell*, governor of Assiniboia. In response to Simpson's request to be freed of responsibility for the settlement and to be obliged to travel less, and concluding that a firm hand was required at Red River, the London committee turned to Eden Colvile. The decision was not surprising, considering his father's position. On 3 Feb. 1849 Colvile was made governor of Rupert's Land, resident at the Red River settlement, with a mandate to exercise all the powers of Simpson in his absence, "in all places where trade is authorized to be carried on by the Charter." Colvile was also appointed to the Council of Assiniboia. His first task, however, was to straighten out the troubled affairs of the Puget's Sound Agricultural Company and he thus spent the winter of 184950 on the Pacific coast. Condition: Pages unread with uncut pages, small inked note at front heal gutter else very good.
