Abstract

"With his appointment to Manager of the Saskatchewan District in 1948, Hugh Ross provides a rare look at the fur trade in northern Saskatchewan fifty years ago. He travels by bush plane to deal with the problems of fire, illness, and human foibles, the grading of furs and the collection of debt. A story researched with care and told with the human touch of a born raconteur."--Amazon.
