A Son of the Fur Trade - The Memoirs of Johnny Grant (Paperback)

Born in 1833 at Fort Edmonton, Johnny Grant experienced and wrote about many historical events in the Canada-US northwest, and died within sight of the same fort in 1907. Grant was not only a fur trader; he was instrumental in early ranching efforts in Montana and played a pivotal role in the Riel Resistance of 1869-70. Published in its entirety for the first time, Grant's memoir--with a perceptive introduction by Gerhard Ens--is an indispensable primary source for the shelves of fur trade and Metis historians.
