Description
"Captain George Cartwright (1739-1819), an English merchant who spent time in Labrador between 1770 and 1786, is best known for the fascinating account of his experiences collected in the Journal of Transactions and Events during a Residence of nearly Sixteen Years on the Coast of Labrador (1792)." "In recent years more of his papers have been discovered and stand alongside his journal as important source material on the early colonial period in the Atlantic region. Transcribed from the original documents and extensively annotated by Marianne Stopp, the new papers not only give instructions about such practical matters as how to build a house in a sub-arctic climate or the best methods of sealing, trapping, and salmon fishing but also provide a first-hand account of merchant rivalries and trade with Aboriginal groups."--Jacket.
