Sinópse: Excerpt from Adventures in the Far West: Canada’s Story Daniel williams harmon was a partner in the North-west Company in the days before that organization united with its more famous rival, the Hudson Bay Company. For nineteen years Harmon resided in the North American wilderness, during which time the only marks of civilization that he encountered were in and around the lonely posts of the fur traders scattered here and there throughout the great North-west. His Journal, from which the following pages are taken, was first published in 1820. It was written partly for his own amusement and partly to gratify his friends, who, he thought, would like to know how he spent his time during his absence; but the curiosity which, on his return to civilized society, he found to be awakened as to the state of the country of his travels, led him to submit the work to the wider circle of the general public.
