I expected a “boys' adventure” story and was delighted to discover that this, Ballantyne's first book, is actually a memoir of his six years with the Hudson Bay Company in the mid-19th century. The description is first-rate and the narrative interesting. My late-Victorian reprint (Thomas Nelson & Sons) was illustrated in colour by someone who apparently thought that a “dog-cariole” (dogsled) looked like a fur-covered bathtub pulled by four border collies and had the oddest ideas of voyageur clothing, so I'm finding it amusing as well as instructive.

R. M. Ballantyne (1825-1894) was a Scottish juvenile fiction writer. Born Robert Michael Ballantyne in Edinburgh, he was part of a famous family of printers and publishers. In 1848 he published his first book, Hudson's Bay: or, Life in the Wilds of North America. For some time he was employed by Messrs Constable, the publishers, but in 1856 he gave up business for the profession of literature, and began the series of adventure stories for the young with which his name is popularly associated. The Young Fur-Traders (1856), The Coral Island (1857), The World of Ice (1859), Ungava: A Tale of Eskimo Land (1857), The Dog Crusoe (1860), The Lighthouse (1865), Deep Down, a Tale of the Cornish Mines (1868), The Pirate City (1874), Erling the Bold (1869), The Settler and the Savage (1877), and other books, to the number of upwards of a hundred, followed in regular succession, his rule being in every case to write as far as possible from personal knowledge of the scenes he described.
