Abstract

"This book contains essays in honour of Dr. L. G. Thomas by eleven of his former students, all of whom are professional historians employed as teachers, archivists, or researchers. Dr. Thomas pioneered courses in Western Canadian History at the University of Alberta where he spent 37 years (interrupted only for war service) on the staff of the Department of History.

The essays, all unique and original contributions to historical knowledge, deal with topics relating to the fur trade period (prior to 1870) and the subsequent period of settlement."--Back cover.
