520 _a"The Conquest of the Great Northwest, Volume 2" by Agnes C. Laut is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume continues the narrative of the adventurers of England associated with the Hudson's Bay Company, shedding light on the history of the Canadian Northwest and the Western States. It explores the complex interactions and rivalries between fur trading companies, their adventures, and the impact on indigenous populations and the burgeoning settlements in the region. The opening of the text provides insights into the recruitment process of the Nor’Westers, detailing how they sought new voyageurs to join their ranks. It vividly depicts the atmosphere as charismatic "sly wolves" of the North coax young men from their parishes with tales of adventure and luxury, contrasting the grueling reality of life as a fur trader. The narrative sets a colorful scene as brigades prepare to embark on their journeys, bringing to life the challenges of transportation, the camaraderie among voyageurs, and the fierce competition between the Hudson’s Bay Company and the Nor’Westers that drove their motivations and actions in the wilderness.
