This is a selection of letters written by William Traill to his
mother, sisters, nieces, and nephew while he was in the service of
the HBC. The letters are fascinating to read and extremely
important in describing a way of life that we know relatively
little about, as very few records to date describe career,
courtship, marriage, household work, births, children, deaths, and
generational change. This collection of letters is both interesting
and poignant: read on any level they are truly engrossing. He found
employment with the Hudson's Bay Company in what was to become the
Canadian West. His letters home are a rich and detailed portrait of
domestic life in the fur trade of the Northwest between 1864 and
1893. At turns gritty then deeply touching but always fascinating
and informative, the Willie Traill letters throw open a window on
the joys and heart-breaking challenges of family life in the
service of the fur trade.
