Show detail Hide detail

Journal of occurrences from Peel's River House (now Fort McPherson) kept by Augustus R. Peers. The journal records trade between the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) and local people, ecological concerns (e.g., over-harvesting), and cultural practices (e.g. hunting patterns). Content pertaining to the Tetlit Gwich'in is included. August R. Peers died on March 15 1853 following illness. His wife, Christina Bell, wrote the entry for that day and is likely the scribe of the rest of this journal.
