This is Volume XXX in the series, Publications of the Hudson's Bay Record Society. It focuses on four Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) documents dating between 1670-1870. Contents are titled as follows: "Albany Fort Journal, 1705-06," "'Remarks' on the French Raids on Churchill and York, 1782," "James Tate's Journal, 1809-12," and "The 'Character Book' of George Simpson, 1832." Transcriptions of each of the four documents are included. Each is accompanied by an Introduction by Glyndwr Williams, Professor of History at Queen Mary College in London. The Albany Fort Journal records daily life at HBC's Albany River trading post from 1705-1706. The journal was authored by Anthony Beale and is the earliest extant HBC post journal. "Remarks" is a collection of observations about the French attacks led by Commander La Perouse against HBC's posts at York and Churchill in 1782. York and Churchill posts were both destroyed but later rebuilt. The earliest documentation of "Remarks" only exists as transcriptions in Andrew Graham's account. James Tate's journal documents a violent encounter between HBC and its rival company, North West Company (NWC), in which an HBC member, John Mowat fatally shot Aeneas Macdonell of NWC on Eagle Lake in 1809. The background for this incident is that both companies were vying for position at Eagle Lake. Several men from both companies shot at or attacked each other with axe or sword when NWC arrived on the shores of Eagle Lake which the HBC men had already been occupying. According to Tate's journal, Macdonell tried to kill Mowat with his sword but Mowat fired his gun in self-defense (Tate did not witness the actual shooting but says that he recorded an account backed by several witnesses). Tate and Robert Feask, another HBC man, were sent along with Mowat after a group of NWC men returned demanding that HBC give up Mowat for trial under the threat of violence. One of the leading HBC men present, William Corrigal, agreed to send Tate and Feask with Mowat. Tate gives a detailed and evocative account of their journey to Montreal as they trudged through arduous terrain and wilderness. For example, Tate writes of the plights of Mowat, constantly kept in irons, and of him and Feask being sent out to fish and hunt with little to eat. Tate had been struck with axe and sword and also writes about coping with his wounds with the help of an Indigenous woman's healing methods. Tate also documents Mowat's trial, matters between HBC and NWC regarding the incident, Mowat's punishment (he was found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to six months in prison and branding of his left thumb), his and Corrigal's legal troubles (they were charged with aiding and abetting Mowat and imprisoned temporarily but were eventually released), and his departure to Quebec. The "Character Book" is Simpson's confidential list of HBC and NWC employees in which he assesses their personal character.
