The first real look at the Canadian West "Harmon's Journal"--the
first published English-language journal written in B.C.-is a
lively, engaging story that, unlike other early journals, captures
the rough-and-tumble life of a fur trader and explorer in the
western Canada of 200 years ago. Harmon's descriptions of the
cultures and customs of the people he met provide important
observations of various First Nations almost before they were
touched by European culture. He also details activities of the
traders and explorers with whom he exchanged letters--such notable
personalities as David Thompson, Simon Fraser and John Stuart.
Harmon writes with honesty and often raw emotion in his accounts of
his travels and adventures, and his reflections are often profound.
"Harmon's Journal" is the authentic 1957 edition of the journal
edited by esteemed historian William Kaye Lamb.
