This is No. II in the Hudson's Bay Company Series, a subset within The Publications of the Champlain Society series. Edited with an Introduction by E. E. Rich. Rich was assisted by R. Harvey Fleming. This volume contains a transcription of Colin Robertson's letters dating from September 1, 1817-September 1822. Transcriptions of many supplementary letters and documents are also included. Colin Robertson (1783-1842) was a Scottish-Canadian fur trader and politician. He worked for both Hudson's Bay Company and the North West Company who were fierce rivals in the fur trading industry. Robertson's letters offer an insider's look at both companies and their day-to-day activities. Given the dates of his letters, they also provide invaluable historical context behind the merger of HBC and North West Company in 1821. He worked for HBC until 1840 when he retired from the industry. Robertson also served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada for Two Mountains from 1841 until his passing in 1842.

A collection of reprinted records related to the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) from 1821-1831. Contents are listed as follows: "Preface," "Introduction: Part I: Reorganization, 1821-25; Part II: Consolidation, 1826-31; Part III: Conclusion," "Minutes of Council, 1821-1831," "Appendix A: Letters from the Governor and Committee to the Northern Department, 1821-22; Reports of George Simpson to the Governor and Committee,1822; Selection from the Correspondence of the Northern Department, 1821-22," "Appendix B: Biographical," and "Index." The Hudson's Bay Company was founded in 1670 as a fur trading company. HBC once controlled a commercial monopoly throughout the entirety of Rupert's Land, a territory expressly formed for HBC's monopoly. Rupert's Land also comprised the Hudson Bay drainage basin. The Canadian government gained control of Rupert's Land in 1870 following negotiations with HBC. HBC is still in business to this day as Canada's largest and oldest corporation. Today, HBC is commonly referred to as "The Bay" and has many brick-and-mortar retail stores as well as an online store. HBC has since changed its product line to reflect current interests, and as of 2023, no longer sells animal fur products.…
