"I became interested in fur trade families and their neglected significance while a graduate student in the 1970s.
Ever since, I and others, including many of these families’ descendants, have been tracing and telling about the Indigenous/ newcomer family ties that made the fur trade possible.
Two books encompass my explorations of these families and their ramifications:
“Strangers in Blood: Fur Trade Company Families in Indian Country” (1980); and “An Ethnohistorian in Rupert’s Land: Unfinished Conversations” (2017)." Jennifer Brown
Dinner Menu: Six-ounce prime rib, Fort potatoes, which is a delicious combination of small red potatoes, tossed in caramelized onion, chef's seasonal vegetables, and blonde brownie a la mode.
