Fur trade canoe routes of Canada, then and now [electronic resource] / Eric W. Morse. Ottawa : [National and Historic Parks Branch, Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development], 1968 (Ottawa : Roger Duhamel, Queen's Printer, 1969) 125 p : ill., maps Historical publication digitized from print in 2015. Includes bibliographic references. "This study is a by-product of several years' summer holidays devoted to retracing by canoe the principal routes, with early journals excerpted and taken along for study on the spot. These routes in the nineteen-sixties remain dramatically unchanged from what the first fur-seekers saw three centuries earlier. But hydro, industry and settlement obliterate and threaten; and some day it might be too late to undertake as close an examination as we are happily still able to make.The plan of the book is, in Part I, to introduce the subject as seen through the eyes of the real hero of the story, the Canadien (or Indian, or Orkneyman) voyageur, to outline the economic and geographical influences and then, in Part II, to describe in detail the old routes as they look now"--Introd., p. 1. gccst Waterways Canada.
