Summary

• "The Historical Society of Alberta and the Alberta Records Publication Board are pleased to announce publication of The Hudson's Bay Company Edmonton House Journals, Correspondence and District Reports 1806 - 1821 as the 19th volume in the ARPB series. This publication includes a full transcription of all of the post journals, correspondence and reports from Edmonton House held by the Hudson's Bay Company Archives for this crucial period.
• Long available only to researchers with access to the collections of the Hudson's Bay Company Archives, these journals and district reports provide a detailed day-by-day account of the operations of Edmonton House during this crucial period. They provide direct insight into the Aboriginal, social, and economic history of the region, and new information on the foundation of the Red River settlement and the struggle for control of the trade in the Athabasca region."--Pub. desc.
• The volume editors, Gerhard Ens and Ted Binnema, are both distinguished scholars who have published extensively on fur trade, Aboriginal, and environmental history. Their extensive introduction, scholarly annotations, index and appendices provide readers with the historical context for these documents and help to explain the complex history of trade and trade relations on the North Saskatchewan River in the early 19th century.
