Publication: AH Clark Co, 1923, Cleveland

First edition. Cloth, 209 pp. Preface. Appendix. Bibliography. Index. Illustrations. Map. John Work was arguably the most proficient explorer of the Hudson's Bay Company in the Pacific Northwest. His journals are among the most important records of the fur trade in the Northwest. "John Work's journal is one of the cornerstone works on the fur trade in the Northwest. He was one of the greatest of the Hudson's Bay Company traders, and his explorations were more extensive than those of his contemporaries, Alexander Ross and Peter Skene Ogden. This is an enduring work of value."---AHC#316 (Clark & Brunet). Very good, clean, tight copy.
