In this piece, we revisit three episodes of the series ‘Mysteries of the Canadian Fur Trade’ which were previously published on this channel. These videos cover strange stories of the unexplained which appear in the journals, letters, and memoirs of historical figures associated with the Canadian fur trade, from old French explorers to travel writers to Hudson’s Bay Company fur traders.
