6 CANADIAN WILDS. 



to Fort William on Lake Superior in the West 

 and from the valley of the St. Lawrence in the 

 South to the headwaters of its feeders in the 

 North. 



By canoes and snowshoes I have traveled on 

 the principal large rivers flowing south from 

 the height of land, among them I may mention 

 the Moisee, Bersimis, St. Maurice, Ottawa, 

 Michipocoten, Pic and Nepigon. 



I have hunted, trapped and traded with the 

 Montagnais, Algonquins and Ojibways, the 

 three largest tribes that inhabit the country 

 mentioned in the foregoing boundaries and 

 therefore the reader can place implicit reliance 

 in what is herein set forth. Giving a synopsis 

 of the history of The Hudson's Bay Company, 

 its Forts and Posts and the Indians they traded 

 with as well as other incidents of the Canadian 

 wilds. 



Kespectfully, 



MARTIN HUNTER.
