Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

"The writings of fur trader George Nelson are wonderfully rich,
vivid, and personal. Laura Peers and Theresa Schenck have rendered
great service in bringing these writings forward, editing and
annotating them witgh care and empathy. This is a significant work
for all who are interested in Native and fur trade history and seek
to imagine what life was really like in those times."
Jennifer S. H. Brown, author of Strangers in Blood: Fur Trade
Comapny Families in Indian Country
"There was no other fur trader like George Nelson. He was a pure
ethnographer of the world around him and of the content of his own
heart. Like Defoe and Melville, he was a tolerant, sympathetic
teller of truth, but he had his own clear voice. At long last,
thanks to the splendid work of Peers and Schenck, he may finally
get the honor that was always due him: a following of grateful
readers."
