Excerpt from The Conquest of the Great Northwest, Vol. 1 of 2: Being the Story of the Adventurers of England Known as the Hudson's Bay Company; New Pages in the History of the Canadian Northwest and Western States Adventurers. Therefore, they are not given here. Who takes up the story where I leave ofi, must hang the narrative on these pegs. Another intentional omission. From the time the Adventurers wrote 03 loss for search of the north-west Passage, Arctic Exploration has no part in this story. In itself, it is an enthran story; but to give even the most scrappy reference to it here would necessitate crowding out essential parts of the Adventurers' record - such as mcloughlin's transmontane empire, or the account of the South Bound Brigades. Therefore, latter day Arctic work has no mention here. For the same reason, I have been compelled to omit the dramatic story of the early missions. These merit a book to themselves.
