No. XIX in The Publications of the Hudson's Bay Record Society series. Edited by E. E. Rich who was assisted by A. M. Johnson. This volume contains a transcription of Eden Colvile's letters sent from Canada to Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) officials in London. Eden Colvile (1819-1893) was an English businessman and governor of HBC. He was the son of Andrew Colvile who had worked as Deputy Governor of HBC. Eden took over the duties of another HBC governor, George Simpson. As HBC governor, Eden was tasked with handling a variety of conflicts including racial and cultural tensions between the different residents of Red River Colony in Rupert's Land, the Guilleume Sayer trial, and Foss-Pelly trial. Following the main collection of Eden's correspondence to London is a collection of his letters addressed to Simpson. In both collections of his letters, Eden writes about a variety of subjects such as HBC administrative matters, noted HBC officials, and residents and politics of Red River Colony. In his Introduction, Morton writes about the general sociopolitical and racial dynamics in Red River Colony, the agricultural prospects and difficulties in the Colony, and notable individuals associated with Red River Colony. Morton discusses ethnic groups in the region such as the Metis, French Canadians, and Kildonan Scots. He addresses the importance of religion among various groups and tensions between Protestants and Roman Catholics. Morton paints a detailed picture of daily life in Red River Colony such as observed social customs, animals that could be raised there, and crops that could withstand the brutal winters of the region.

A Very Good, almost Near Fine copy. Volume XVII in the Publications of the Hudson's Bay Record Society series. A collection of reprinted journal entries from 1783-1785 relating to the Hudson's Bay Company's posts in the Southern Department of Hudson Bay. Excerpt from Preface: "This is the first volume to be published by the Record Society which deals specifically with the affairs of the posts at the Bottom of the Bay--the Southern Department as it was later called. There the earliest posts established by the Company were set up and there the earliest effects of French competition were felt." Contents are listed as follows: "Preface," "Introduction," "Moose Fort Journal, 1783-84," "Moose Fort Journal, 1784-85," "Appendix A: Moose Fort Correspondence Books, 1783-84 and 1784-85," "Appendix B: Posts," "Appendix C: Biographies," "Appendix D: Standard of Trade, 1783-84," "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.
