Canadian Wilds

Canadian Wilds (277 pages, copyright 1907, public domain) is one of Harding's Pleasure and Profit Books. It is a collection of articles, written by Martin Hunter, that were first published in Forest and Stream and Hunter-Trader-Trapper magazines. The author was employed for twenty years by the Hudson’s Bay Company, entering in 1863 and retiring in 1903 as a commissioned officer. During this time he hunted, trapped and traded with the Montagnais, Algonquins and Ojibways Indians over a wide area of Canadian wilderness.

Martin Hunter’s stories range from the inner workings of the Hudson’s Bay Company, how Indians were outfitted, and how officers were rationed and paid; to adventures in hunting, trapping, tracking and dinning in the wilderness. His close encounters with bears, wolverine, beaver and moose, a pet seal named Jack, interesting Indian partners and lifesaving survival tips, makes this a highly entertaining and educational work.
