Long spent nineteen years working as a fur trapper and trader for the Hudson's Bay Company. He dealt closely with the First Nations people and his account is replete with information on their customs and manners. Field was an admirer of his work: "His knowledge of the character, customs, and domestic life of the Indians was therefore the most thorough and intimate. His relations are characterized by candor and intelligence." The work includes an extensive Chippeway vocabulary and the map records the southern part of the country where it meets the Great Lakes. Field, 946; Howes, 443; Sabin, 41878.
