Northern Traders: Caribou Hair in the Stew; Archie Hunter; Sono Nis Press, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, 1983. From the blurb – The enthralling tale of a Hudson’s Bay Company fur trader in the far North. Archie Hunter’s reminiscences begin in 1924 when, at the age of 18, he left Scotland to serve anywhere in North America, in whatever capacity the Hudson’s Bay Company required, for a term of 5 years. Repulse Bay, Wager Inlet, Baker Lake, Lac du Brochet, Telegraph Creek and several other locations and several decades of service have accumulated to provide an autobiography adventure in its truest sense; the portrayal of a life unlike anything we know today.

Overall, a very attractive story of the North.…
