The statement of the Company's London fur sales from
1853 to 1877, inclusive, so frequently quoted and referred
to in these Notes, was given to me many years ago by my
old friend, the late Chief Factor Robert Campbell, F . R . G . S .,
the discoverer and explorer of the Upper Yukon, with its
important tributaries, the Lewis, Pelly, and Stewart rivers.
Mr. Campbell was a man of great integrity of character, whose
name comes close to the end in a long list of active and undaunted
men who, from the days of Sir Alexander Mackenzie and the
earlier times of the French- Canadian and English explorers,
traversed mountains, ascended rivers and trod the then unknown
wilds of North America. It would certainly be impossible to find
their superiors, and not, proportionally, very many their peers, in
any service. From 1838 to 1848 Mr. Campbell made many remarkable
explorations, the result of which, though scarcely appreciated
at the time even by the Company for which he worked, can never
be forgotten in the history of north- western Canada. He died in
Manitoba in the month of April, 1892. aged 80 years.
We have neither time nor space to dilate on the great
services rendered to Canada ( and the B r i t i s h Empire) by
her own splendid North- West Company of Montreal, as well
